    The longer this goes on the more leverage Iran has. The world economy is starting to feel the effects of the blockade and it will only get worse. The effects are not only limited to the price of gas but also to things like fertilizer (we’re right in the middle of planting season right now) and energy (if this is going to be a hot summer, which I have a feeling it’s going to, energy demand for AC will be quite big).
