Lol the capitalist countries who have their own oil, like Canada, might as well not have it as far as their citizens are concerned because the prices are still skyrocketing.

"Hey don't blame us, that's just the market price now. What are we supposed to do? Not cash in on the global resource crisis?"

EU should say “ok. We makin’ a deal with Iran then”, and essentially repeat the JCPOA with a few sprinkles on top, and some cash to pay for “tolls” while the strait isn’t properly de mined

I don't think JCPOA would be on a table at this point, but both the EU and the Gulf states should absolutely make a deal with Iran and kick the US out.

Specific terms might change. Maybe big pile of cash as a “toll” in exchange for previous terms, or laxer sanctions with less direct cash. What matters is “the vibe” so to say

Again, why would Iran accept previous terms when they can just dictate terms to Europe now. They'll put up a toll, tell Europeans they have to pay in Yuan, and that nobody can tell them what type of weapons they can make. What exactly are Europeans going to do other than say thank you?
