πΊπΈ "Should Americans be bracing for the price of oil to go over $200 a barrel?"
US Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright:
"So Iran, for 47 years, has called the United States The Great Satan."

Look at how the clown avoids answering the question.
I think it's reasonable to call it outright gaslighting. Because he first tries to poison the well on listening to Iran about anything and then:
Interviewer: "So that's a no?"
Wright: "I would not pay attention to what Iran says, but there is a lot of energy that flows through the Strait of Hormuz and depending on the timing and the manner in which this conflict comes to an end, we're gonna see some elevated pricing until we get there."
So basically, "don't listen to what Iran says but also what they're saying could definitely happen." But if what Iran is projecting is true, then people should listen to them.
