My guess is that China and Russia are willing to let Trump own the Iran mess until the energy crisis bites this summer. Then they’ll start to help him dig out before winter as it gets really bad. The aim is to “shock the gorilla” and stop all the volatile behaviour. 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 https://t.co/Q5f9iPopuk #IranCrisis #EnergyPolitics #Geopolitics #US #RU #CN #IR

As U.S. gas prices reach their highest levels in four years due to the war in Iran, European finance ministers and some U.S. senators are advocating for windfall taxes on the excess profits of oil and gas companies, drawing parallels to similar measures following Russia's invasion of Ukraine; however, previous attempts at such taxes have often fallen short of revenue expectations due to profit shifting to tax havens and other corporate accounting practices. #EnergyPolitics #WindfallTax #FossilFuels #US #FR #DE #IT #IN #RU
