The taxpayer-funded, left-wing National Public Radio (NPR) suggested that if the United States lifted sanctions on Iran’s oil operations, it could help lessen the cost of energy for U.S. consumers.
“So energy prices were already high before the Russian invasion. Have they gotten worse since?” Weekend Edition All Things Considered Host Michel Martin asked a reporter.
The reporter answered. “Oil prices spiked initially. They went above $100 a barrel very quickly for the first time since 2014, then they calmed back down. They settled at about $98 on Friday. Trading paused for the weekend, and it’s just starting again in some parts of the world. And I have to say, the only word for this moment on these markets is uncertainty.”
Martin claimed the “worst fears for energy markets have not played out” because, the reporter confirmed, the U.S. has yet to halt Russia’s oil operations — including imports to the United States.
“That’s not to say that we have a dependence on Russia,” Daleep Singh, economic adviser for the White House, said at a briefing last week. “Russia depends on those revenues just as much as the world needs its energy. But we’re not going to do anything which causes an unintended disruption to the flow of energy, as the global economic recovery is still underway.”
The reporter said the Biden administration wants to solve high gas prices and other energy costs by getting OPEC+ to produce more oil, which it has refused to do.
The reporter suggested that appeasing Iran could also help with energy costs.
“Last but not least, there’s the possibility of a new nuclear deal with Iran,” she said. “Iran’s a major oil producer that’s been under U.S. sanctions. If there’s a breakthrough and all that oil comes back on markets, prices could come down.”

Thanks Marv.
I guess that putting America back in the oil production business would make too much sense to those goat humper lovers wouldn’t it?
Why are we cutting deals with Iran? Biden is INSANE.
“..Communists have no problem with oil from our enemies, it’s just our oil that is evil...”
^THIS^
Anything that is beneficial, helps America, supports America, blesses America, makes America a freer, better place etc. etc., these vile, commie basstards are totally against.
They should be declared a domestic terrorist organization, outlawed within the USA and run out of the country on a rail with the threat of public hanging if they should ever try to return.
It would be nice when the speculators set pricing they knew that the US was actively increasing leases for new wells on Federal property.
But no... Brandon is rapidly killing domestic oil exploration.
All I see from this is that NPR is telegraphing the fact it hates Israel.
It’s very possible, even probable, that you can explore all you want and grant leases all you want and 11.6 mbpd is the number you get, because already drilled wells decline their output.
It’s not pure additive. Drill new wells, you don’t necessarily get more oil. The old wells are always dying. If they die faster than the new wells flow, you get decline, not addition, regardless of lease approvals.
They may as well shut the Babylon Bee down now.
1. Helps authoritarian buddies
2. Gives temporary cover to Dem energy policies
A twofer!
Opening US oil production WILL reduce prices at the pump, AND create jobs, AND rescue the economy, AND prove Trump’s wisdom and Biden’s ignorance.
.....Pumping our oil makes us richer and stronger, while socialist commies like Obama want US weakened....and the likes of Russia and Iran made richer and stronger better able to challenge US. Obama's father despised the US and Obama wants to carry it through.
Energy independence defeats their purpose. Biden's refusal to unleash production here is nonsensical on steroids, but I finally understand their scam for what it appears to be.
It's reparations on a grander scale. It's Madeline Albright encouraging nuclear proliferation just to make it fair to all countries.
Try to see worldwide events from this perspective with worldwide equity as the goal and things make more sense.
“Lifting Sanctions Against Iran’s Oil Flow Could Lower Energy Prices for Americans”
Killing and eating your neighbors could lower your food bill.
Oil from Iran and Russia does not cause global warming. Only American oil does that. /s
"When the Democratic Party's f---- up, we'll cover their a---- as long as we are tax funded."
Since 1970.
By abolishing NPR we wouldn’t have to put up with all the Greenie trash talk
Libtards are simply too stupid to be in control of anything 🤪
They twist the arms of every country in earth to make up for their stupidity in cutting our own production and independence
But we won’t harness our own. Let’s go Biden
What about drilling our own?
