After a U.S. strike on Iranian soil, Tehran has threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s favorite oil straw. In a dramatic press conference, an Iranian official shouted, “No more oil for you!” while slamming a symbolic gas pump.
Global oil prices immediately skyrocketed. Wall Street traders started sweating like they’d just jogged through the desert — in full suits.
Meanwhile, OPEC held an emergency Zoom call. One delegate was heard asking, “Can we just sell sand instead?”
Back in the U.S., President Biden was reportedly seen googling: “How to explain $10 gas with a straight face.”
Experts warn that if the strait closes, the world might finally discover walking again.
