Oil rises as renewed US-Iran strikes stoke supply fears - Reuters

• • Oil prices surged above $90 per barrel due to U.S. and Iranian hostilities.


• • Tanker strikes in the Strait of Hormuz threatened global energy supplies.


• • U.S. stock markets declined as investors reacted to geopolitical instability.

Context
The Strait of Hormuz serves as a critical chokepoint for global crude exports. Recent military strikes have revived fears of prolonged disruptions to these essential energy flows.

Christian Perspective
The escalating violence in the Middle East reflects the spiritual decay and chaos inherent in regions lacking biblical order. This instability highlights the futility of secular geopolitical maneuvering that ignores divine sovereignty.

Implications
Rising energy costs drive inflation which disproportionately harms the American family and the working class. Economic instability undermines the ability of men to provide for their households and maintain a stable domestic life.

Broader Trends
This conflict demonstrates the danger of the globalist agenda that entangles American resources in foreign entanglements. It illustrates how Middle Eastern instability is used to manipulate global markets and weaken American economic sovereignty.

Takeaway
America First policies should prioritize domestic energy independence to shield our citizens from foreign shocks. We must resist being drawn into endless Middle Eastern conflicts that serve foreign interests rather than our own people.
