“real finacial vice”

financial vise?

“Iran’s oil production in 2024 was about 4.63 million b/d”

“Iran’s oil consumption in 2024 was calculated to be 1,953,251 barrels per day b/d”

Copilot [Worldometer]

The Iranian government is still getting oil revenue from nearly half its normal oil production. If Iran charges market prices for oil domestically, Iran’s wholesale oil revenue would be down about 30%. Iran’s taxes and profits on domestic retail fuel sales would be unchanged or increased.

The idea that Iran will be forced to deal because its oil industry will suffer greatly from a blockade is absurd.

Yes, thank you, vise not vice. I had it correct in my brain, but the fingers defied me. 😁🤙
