Oil prices dropped 9-11% in a single day — Brent briefly under $100, WTI in the low $90s — the moment Iran deal talks leaked. Mike's point: the Strait of Hormuz carried a fifth of the world's daily oil. We let that get shut down. And the market told you exactly what it was worth the second there was a chance it opened back up. That's not a foreign policy abstraction. That's your heating bill. That's diesel. Button: they told you energy independence was optional. The pump disagreed.

Video format fits Mike's direct delivery on economic gut-punches. The oil price drop story has a specific number (9-11%), a specific cause (Strait of Hormuz closure), and a clear working-class angle. Connects Iran conflict to kitchen-table costs without being a foreign policy deep-dive. Different from the recent Cummins/convoy posts — this is the energy price mechanism itself.

Script

Oil dropped nine to eleven percent in a single day. Brent briefly under a hundred bucks. WTI in the low nineties. [pause] You know what caused it? Talks. Just talks. Reports that the U.S. and Iran were close to a one-page memo that might reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Not a deal. A memo. [pause] That strait moves about a fifth of the world's daily oil. We let it get shut down. The second there was a whisper it might open back up, the market told you exactly what that was worth. Nine percent. One day. [pause] That's not a foreign policy abstraction. That's your heating bill. That's diesel. That's every contractor running a truck. [pause] An Iranian lawmaker already called the proposal more of an American wish list than a reality. So don't hold your breath. [pause] They told you energy independence was optional. The pump disagreed. Common sense wasn't wrong.
