A helipad was damaged, but doesn't look like there were any casualties.

On the other hand, Mossad took out a pair of Iranian intelligence officials.

Once again, WINNING!   

Correct. I read that after I posted.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the USA energy independent again? There should be no genuine shortage here. Only what is concocted by the oil companies.

I don't know Renegade Quark.....sorry.

Not really. The refineries along the Gulf Coast were built for foreign ultra heavy grades. Other infrastructure makes it more economical to import oil than produce domestically. At least in some parts of the country.

All that would change quickly if WTI went to $150 a barrel and stayed there for six months.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the U.S. conflict in Iran will likely come to an end in the "next few weeks" amid uncertainty about oil prices linked to whether the strategic Strait of Hormuz could be kept open.

"I think that this conflict will certainly come to an end in the next few weeks," Wright told ABC News' "This Week" on March 15. "Could be sooner than that, but the conflict will come to the end in the next few weeks."

Wright, responding to a question about elevated gas prices in the United States, said that the war's end could lead to a "pushing down of prices after that."

Trump said Sunday that he could soon strike a deal with Cuba or take other action, following protests in the island nation's capital as its population faces rolling blackouts, fuel shortages and economic turmoil.

In a post on X, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said that while it was understandable that conditions in Cuba are causing distress and that the "complaints" and "demands" of the people are "legitimate," turning to violence would "threaten citizen tranquillity and the security of our institutions."

Díaz-Canel confirmed Friday that the country was in talks with the U.S.

"These ‌talks have been aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations," Díaz-Canel said in a video aired on state television, adding that he hoped the negotiations would move the adversaries "away from confrontation."

We are going to have WW3 but I doubt it will involve nukes.

Technically you're already in it...the rest is just semantics!
