US and Israel attack Iran, and the latter counteracts by blockading the strait, with immediate effect.
The Treasury Secretary, Bassett, stepped in to resolve the issue, he just posted on social media saying:
"The energy policy of President Trump has led to record-high production of oil and natural gas.
To ensure that oil continues to flow into the global market, the US Treasury issued a 30-day temporary exemption allowing Indian oil companies to purchase Russian oil.
This carefully arranged short-term measure will not bring significant economic benefits to the Russian government, as it only authorizes the trade of oil stranded at sea.
India is an important partner of the United States, and we fully expect New Delhi to increase its purchases of American oil.
The purpose of this stop-gap measure is to alleviate the pressure caused by Iran's attempt to hold global energy hostage."
Selling only oil that can't move from the sea?
Giving only India a special deal?
Seeking the return of India buying more American oil in the future?
For the president, going to war is like opening the market~
