Chinese reduction of demand is significant. OPEC should be worried in the future.

Don't forget the damage that Ukraine has done to Russian oil and gas facilities and ports, I have not seen anyone phase that into the equation.

Time is on Iran's side and Krasnov must understand that he can't bomb the shit out of Iran again, and Iran also knows that.

Iran doesn't want a peace deal, having civilian officials doing the negotiations is a tell, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is in charge of any agreements. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard isn't going to give up control of Hormuz, Krasnov made Iran relevant in the world.
