Ok, one more time then I'm done. One of the big sanctions is limiting the amount of oil Iran is allowed to sell. If our allies follow the Orange Doofus's lead Iran will have to stop selling on the open market. That is why news of tRump pulling out of the deal raised the price of crude.If our admittedly wavering allies follow our leed Iran will indeed stop selling oil on the open market.Iran has plenty to do with the price of us oil and gas. Their product is sold on the international market, where it affects the price of all oil.Lol, it's sold on the open market. Of course we got iranian oil. Educate yourself.
Very little of it; educate yourself.
Out of the top five US oil imports, Iraq is the fifth and we only get 6% of our oil from there. Whatever happens in Iran has very little to do with the price of US gasoline today.

I really didn't have time to read the entire thing because it has nothing to do with Iran, plus this is energy investing 101. Iran is not going to quit selling their oil on the world market.
Because it's energy investing 101, let me point out the most important point of the article:
Crude oil prices are determined by global supply and demand. Economic growth is the biggest factor that affects demand—growing economies require energy. The petroleum products made from crude oil and other hydrocarbon liquids account for about a third of total world energy consumption.
Seasonal changes in demand for petroleum products can influence the supply and demand balance for crude oil and its market price
Not likely because all they have is oil. But even if they tried, OPEC won't stand for it. They will increase supply from other oil nations. Remember that we compete with those people using our own oil.
Also, "we" don't compete with anyone with "our" oil. It belongs to the oil companies. Surely you don't think they are interested in keeping prices low do you?
