I don't blame you. How are you to know any better. America is a totally open society and any Trump deranged person like that assassin can post anything and you'd run with it.
Start from thse below and maybe start getting some perspective
The point is that, they are still getting oil to China via railways. They still have something to hold on to?

Does the petrodollar have one? Oh! The Yuan!

Does the world have a current substitute for the energy crisis? No!

Let’s pray this blockade goes on for like 1 year and let’s see who will be hit hardest.

You are a newbie in world economics.

Palestinians a creation of British to spite Israel......on Israeli heritage
Palestine does not exist....even Saudi Arabia has no recognition for Palestine
And what is Iran business in all of this ...when iran is far from Israel geographically
Did you know several places were considered for the creation of Israel before Palestine was decided on? Uganda was one of those places.
The British took over lands they never created people.

From Obama to Trump, the hike in gas price didn't even get to 100%. For Nigerians, PMS price increase from last president to the present one is well above 1300%. So what are these terrorists yapping about?

Well, Jesus Christ did not discriminate amongst people. And I know Jesus did not preach the extermination of children, sick people in the hospital, killing elderly people and destroying their homes and targeting aid workers with missiles.

Matthew 7: 21-23

Jesus declares he will reject those who call him "Lord" but practice lawlessness.

Anything is better for now than a Nuclear bombs in the hand of a lunatic Iran regime
You have been brainwashed, Iran is not the lunatic regime, the US is. Iran has not attacked anyone over the years unlike the US that has 850 military bases around the world causing problems. Iran is a member of the IAEA, but Israel is not. The US is the only country in the world to have used nukes, Iran has a fathwa against having nukes. You believe all the propaganda of Iranians being genocidal mullahs yet their president is a cardiac surgeon still making out time to walk into the operating theater to perform surgery during the conflict. Iranians are painted to be aboki salvages yet we can see that despite the sanctions to bring them down, to destroy them, their engineers have mastered it all, from rocket science( considered the peak of engineering) to medicine, to even oil extraction and refining. Despite all the bombings go and watch videos of Tehran, they have stable electricity, your country Nigeria without sanctions has none.
Oga Iran is the sane country here and if any country deserves a nuke, Iran is the one responsible enough to have one. Nukes will be their saviour if not the US will never give up until they own what is under the soil of Iran ie the oil, without which the Petro dollar is doomed. Why do you think the US blocaded and invaded Venezuela? Why do you think the US sets up bases encycling Russia, pushed Georgia and later Ukraine to trigger Russia into a war to weaken it.
Oga do you even know Iranians are so sophisticated they have consistently toped countries producing the most engineers? Infact at a time they lead the pack. Today they are number 5 on the list just behind the US, they top countries such as Japan, Germany, South Korea, Germany etc..

When your Hamas and Hezbollah lunched rockets into Israel ....did their missiles and rockets differentiate between who is women or children or elderly in Israel.....the 12 Israeli children your Palestinians killed on football field with bombs....are they ghost

You people look for Israel trouble and start crying foul because Israel retaliated

Who has ever used a nuclear weapon? Who has a nuclear weapon but wouldn't admit having it? Who is invading his neighbors kidnapping and killing foreign leaders?
Who is exterminating a whole population and destroying their cities?
We shouldn't fear those people we should only fear a country that has never invaded its neighbors.
How much brainwashing do you need to get to this level?
The brainwashing is too deep. Netanyahu has been saying Iran is a few weeks away from having nukes since the 90s, yet no nuke has ever been found in Iran, but people believe anything America and Israel says.

And what mischief has Iran caused? OK you will say they support hizbollah or hamaz, are those not resistance movements against the criminal, genocidal, apartheid entity called Israel armed, financed and supported by the US?
Do you know ANC, Mandela and the rest were labeled terrorist because they resisted the invading whites? The US, Britain etc all supported white south Africans and sanctioned countries who fought side by side with the blacks and even those like Nigeria that funded the struggle. That is the same situation with Iran supporting the oppressed Palestinians and Lebanese whoes land is been stolen and it's people killed daily.
Re: We Didn’t Vote For This: Americans React As Fuel Prices Surge (Pics) by DuttyChuks: 3:57pm On May 04
No wonder they're doing all they can to steal oil from Iran because they're not satisfied from the one they're stealing from Venezuela.. Iran should hold them in their blokos grin

Sooo, if it doesn't affect them why are they offering to end Hormuz sabotage (NOT blocking) if US lifts blockade and ends war??
Their ONLY saving grace is that America does everything openly - they know there is a virulent opposition that greatly hates Trump and will do all they can to help and propaganda for Iran!⁹

Who is Hezbollah resisting in Lebanon?
Who is Houthis resisting in Yemen
If your Iran regime get moral sense ...she should have help the state Authorities....and not set up a Terrorist within a state that are more armed than the state
Now that Houthis have divided Yemen and taken over the capital...are they still resistance group to you
Hezbollah started war with Israel and put the whole Lebanon at arms way and you called them resistance.....why not Hezbollah waited for Isreal to attack Lebanon first then and only then all this your cook up one legged defense would have meaning

Your answer is there, how many litre make a gallon?
When you get your answer divide the cost of gallon by whatever number you got above.

Then convert it using any exchange rate you prefer then tell us, how much is their litre.
