Joe Biden's decision to release 180 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve - one million barrels per day for 180 days, ending just before the midterm elections which the Democrats will lose in an avalanche - was meant to help lower US gasoline prices "because Putin price hike."

P.S. Jerusalem Post April 25 in the same edit: "This means that Iran does not feel bound by legal constraints on the use of mines and drones to target commercial (me: oil tankers?) ships. Yet it also claims to combat โlawlessnessโ at sea."
That is more weird double talk one would expect from that 6th century country!
