It took gas/diesel prices to drop about a week with the announcement of Peace Treaty meetings and SOH opening. GAS on July 3 to July 7th was $3.19 at a lot of our areas gas stations, and $3.09 at our SAMS club. Diesel was pretty much $4.04 to $4.14 depending the station name.

Yesterday 7-8-2026 suddenly its all back to $3.49 and Diesel $4.59+, before a single drop of any Arab oil has been refined into gas or Diesel here in the USA.

4 Surprised that the IRGC hasn't been able to fire off more. I was expecting multiple 20 ballistic missile volleys.

Maybe a lot of their operating troops were at the big funeral for Ali K.

5 Maybe a lot of their operating troops were at the big funeral for Ali K.

Yet another reason the funeral party should have been on the targeting deck.

6 expecting multiple 20 ballistic missile volleys.

They’d lost a lot of their missile launchers. And it sounds like they’ve been concentrating on restocking missiles, but not replacing launchers.

I've read that some of the damaged IRGC launchers were reparable. Of course that assumes the expertise and equipment are available.

It's really surprising how many missiles Iran has launched at Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia. These countries, while not having well trained armies have the financial resources to pay mercenaries to bump off IRGC personnel.

11 ^ What they need is assurance the IRGC remainders (after too-lenient negotiations *spit*) won't be capable of retaliating

12 have the financial resources to pay mercenaries to bump off IRGC personnel.

Didn’t Israel give some of them Iron Dome set-ups, or something along that line?
