Oil prices - going up?
Whatever your views, the Iran war is now going on for months and fuel prices are rising again.
In my view, this war was a mistake.
Iran is (arguably) no wonderful land of peace and love. Judging by the videos I have seen it is (was?) a beautiful place, that nobody has a right to destroy. This war has put back efforts to convert this country away from being considered a warmonger to a peace loving nation.
We have seen vandals in the past who have destroyed things of beauty just because the rulers at the time did not approve - think of the UK King Henry VIII and the English Civil War and actions in Syria and Afghanistan by the Taliban.
