This is economic warfare on a scale never before seen, and the consequences will be apocalyptic for global supply chains, energy markets, and the daily lives of average Americans.
If Iran retaliates by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, we could see oil prices explode to $200 - $300 per barrel, triggering hyperinflation, food shortages, and industrial paralysis across Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, Trump’s total trade embargo on China will empty store shelves across America, cripple U.S. manufacturing, and leave Americans scrambling for basic necessities—from medicine to car parts.
This is not a drill. This is economic doomsday unfolding in real time. And Trump just announced it through his official social media account, saying exactly this:
ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form. Thank you for your attention to this matter, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump’s Iran Oil Embargo is a Direct Attack on China
President Trump has just declared economic war on China by imposing secondary sanctions on any nation that buys oil from Iran. This means:
- China, the #1 buyer of Iranian oil (1+ million barrels per day), will be BANNED from exporting ANY goods to the U.S., effective immediately.
- India (which previously purchased 300,000–500,000 bpd from Iran) and Turkey (100,000–200,000 bpd) will be forced to choose between Iranian oil and U.S. trade access.
- Europe, already reeling from energy shortages, will face total economic devastation if Iran retaliates by closing the Strait of Hormuz. This could spell the end of Western Europe, which is already reeling from the U.S. Navy’s destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines.
This move by Trump appears to be a deliberate economic siege designed to strangle Iran’s oil revenues—but the real target is China, which relies on discounted Iranian crude to fuel its industrial machine.
Will India and Turkey Comply?
- India has already slashed Iranian oil imports under U.S. pressure, but black market deals continue. If India fully complies, it will deepen its energy crisis and push oil prices higher.
- Turkey, facing economic turmoil, will likely defy U.S. sanctions, risking a full trade war with Washington. Turkey is already postured to leave NATO, having seen the insanity of NATO’s actions in the war with Russia.
But the real danger is Iran’s retaliation—and the Strait of Hormuz is the ultimate choke point for the world’s economic activity.
Watch my full video analysis of this development here:
Iran’s Nuclear Option: Block the Straight of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is the most critical energy artery on Earth:
- Roughly 21% of global oil flows through it (18–21 million barrels per day).
- 20–30% of global LNG (liquefied natural gas) passes through, mostly from Qatar.
- Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, and Kuwait depend on it for exports.
If Iran blocks the strait, the consequences will be unimaginable:
- Oil prices could skyrocket to $200 - $300 per barrel overnight.
- Europe, already suffering from Russian gas cuts, will face an energy famine and an industrial collapse. (The UK is unlikely to survive intact as a nation, which isn’t a bad thing, as the country is run by demonic pedophiles.)
- Global inflation will explode, triggering food shortages and industrial collapse.
- The U.S. and allies will be forced into military action, risking WWIII.
Trump is risking all this (and more) but pushing Iran and China into this existential war for the future of economic dominance on planet Earth.
Trump’s Total Trade Embargo on China is Economic Armageddon for America
While the media focuses on Iran, the real economic apocalypse will come from Trump’s total trade embargo on China.
Here’s what happens when China is cut off:
1. EMPTY STORE SHELVES & CONSUMER GOODS COLLAPSE
- 80–90% of U.S. consumer electronics (iPhones, laptops, TVs) come from China.
- Toys, furniture, and appliances will vanish from stores.
- Prices may triple as supply chains implode, if you can even find the goods you want to buy in the first place.
2. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY SHUTDOWN
- 25–30% of U.S. car parts come from China.
- GM, Ford, and Tesla will halt production within weeks. The U.S. auto industry will collapse into oblivion.
- Farm equipment (tractors, harvesters) will break down with no replacement parts. Many farms will grind to a halt. Food output will collapse and famine will spread.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL & MEDICAL DISASTER
- 70–80% of U.S. generic drugs rely on Chinese ingredients.
- Cancer treatments, antibiotics, and heart medications will run out.
- Hospitals will face shortages of CT scans, ventilators, and surgical tools.
4. FOOD & AGRICULTURE CRISIS
- U.S. farmers may lose up to $19 BILLION in soybean/corn exports to China, devastating the financial viability of many U.S. farming operations.
- Fertilizer shortages will slash crop yields, spiking food prices.
- Seafood (60% of U.S. shrimp comes from China) will become unaffordable.
5. SEMICONDUCTOR & TECH MELTDOWN
- 92% of global microchips come from Taiwan, but China controls key materials and has already announced restrictions on the exporting of rare earths.
- U.S. tech giants (Apple, Intel, Nvidia) will face production paralysis and will suffer revenue shock.
- Cloud computing (AWS, Google, Digital Ocean) may be severely compromised due to hardware shortages.
6. DEFENSE & MILITARY VULNERABILITY
- 90% of U.S. military-grade rare earth metals come from China.
- Missile, drone, and satellite production will collapse.
- America’s war machine will be crippled within months. The military industrial complex will be brought to its knees.
7. FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
- Stock market could CRASH 40–50%.
- Inflation will hit 20% or more (50%+ for critical goods).
- 3–5 MILLION jobs will be lost this year in retail, manufacturing, and logistics.
Final Warning: Economic Doomsday Begins Now
The global economy is a house of cards, and Trump’s Iran oil embargo is pulling the rug on everyone.
- If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will explode, starving Europe and Asia of energy.
- If China is cut off from U.S. trade, America will face EMPTY SHELVES, no medicine, and no car parts.
- The supply chain will collapse, leading to riots, hyperinflation, and societal breakdown. It’s doubtful that the United States of America as we know it can even survive this scenario.
Prepare NOW. Stockpile food, medicine, fuel, and barterable goods. Read my recent story on China-made goods to stockpile here:
