Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Global oil market analysts anticipate that the Trump administration may implement emergency measures to reduce fuel prices in the United States if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Mohammad Darwazah, senior Middle East analyst at Medley Global Advisors, indicated that deploying U.S. military forces to secure the Strait is being considered as part of these options. In a March 18 interview with Mark W. Menezes, president of the United States Energy Association, Darwazah noted that the administration has several emergency tools available to address rising oil and gas prices following the launch of Operation Epic Fury on February 28. The operation coincided with related military activity by Israel.

Scripture: James 4:13-14 (NASB 1977)
"Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
Commentary:
