Iran War Expected to Spark Global Energy Crisis. Here’s What Americans Can Expect at the Pump.
Summary
Tucker Carlson argues that US wars in Ukraine and Iran are disrupting global energy supplies, causing inevitable economic collapse. He claims oil markets are manipulated by AI and officials to hide shortages, despite the Strait of Hormuz being closed.
