Putin drops a BOMBSHELL about Iran War and Energy SHOCK as US Troops Prepare for Invasion

[Source]

Comment: It looks like the entire world was getting energy from Iran alone. This was not and is not the case but we see prices skyrocketing everywhere in lockstep, just like the lockdowns during the “pandemic”. The same outcome and the same mechanisms. According to Google AI search,

Based on trade data for early 2025 and reported 2024 trends, Canada imported a negligible amount—if any—of crude oil or natural gas directly from Iran.

Total Imports 2024-2025: Data from 2024 showed total imports from Iran were valued at approximately $36.99 million CAD, primarily consisting of food items (fruits, nuts), medicines, and carpets, not energy products.

January 2025 Trade: Between January 2025 and January 2026, imports from Iran into Canada decreased by 31.4%.

Crude Oil Sources: Canada’s crude oil imports come primarily from the U.S. (54%), Saudi Arabia (11%), Iraq (8%), and Norway (5%), as of 2025 reporting.

Geopolitical Context: During 2025 and early 2026, amid the war in Iran, Canada functioned as an exporter of energy rather than an importer from that region.

Therefore, there is no evidence of significant oil or natural gas imports from Iran into Canada in 2025. – (Natural Resources Canada +4

Similar data applies to recent US imports of energy resources from Iran:

The United States did not meaningfully import oil or natural gas from Iran in 2025. Due to long-standing sanctions and the reimposition of “maximum pressure” policies, the U.S. does not consume Iranian energy products, which are primarily exported to Asian markets, with China purchasing the vast majority, notes this CNBC article and Visual Capitalist.

Sanctions Impact: U.S. imports of Iranian oil have been effectively zero since sanctions were strengthened, with CNBC reporting that any potential, rare, or temporary sales (such as via specific waivers for oil at sea) are insignificant to overall U.S. energy supplies.

Iran’s 2025 Exports: Iran’s 2025 exports averaged around million barrels per day (bpd) of crude and condensate, with the majority going to China, rather than the US, according to Goldman Sachs and ember-energy.org.

U.S. Position: The U.S. has become a net exporter of oil and a major producer, minimizing reliance on Mideast suppliers like Iran, as described in this Visual Capitalist article.

Based on data for 2025, the United States and Canada significantly reduced their reliance on Middle Eastern oil, with the Gulf region (including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE) accounting for less than 10% of U.S. oil imports, the lowest level since the 1970s. Forbes

How about imports from the other Gulf states?

USA Imports (2025)

Crude Oil: Imports from the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, and Libya) fell below 10% of total U.S. imports in 2025. Canada remained the dominant supplier, providing a record 60.88% of all U.S. oil imports.

Natural Gas/LNG: The U.S. is the world’s largest exporter of LNG and is largely self-sufficient. Instead of importing from these nations, the U.S. is a major investor in the region’s energy infrastructure, with firms like Adnoc (UAE) owning stakes in U.S. LNG plants.

Refined Products: The Gulf states are major exporters of refined products (diesel, jet fuel) to global markets, but the U.S. has reduced its dependency on these sources. – (IEA – International Energy Agency +4)

Canada Imports (2025)

Crude Oil: Canada is a net exporter of oil, but it imports oil for regional refineries, primarily from the U.S. (54%), Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Norway. Imports from Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the UAE are minimal compared to these major suppliers.

Natural Gas: Canada is also a major natural gas producer. In 2025, it began exporting LNG to the global market (specifically to Asia) rather than importing significant amounts from the Gulf region. – (Natural Resources Canada +4)

Contextual Factors

Trans Mountain Expansion: The completion of this pipeline allowed Canada to send more crude oil to Asia rather than the U.S. in 2025, impacting global flow dynamics.

Strait of Hormuz Disruptions: Significant portions of exports from Qatar and the UAE were diverted away from North America, with 80% of oil and 90% of LNG passing through the Strait of Hormuz destined for Asian markets in 2025.

UAE-Canada Trade Deal: In late 2025, Canada signed a deal with the UAE designed to enhance trade, though this largely focused on investment in Canada’s energy infrastructure rather than substantial increases in oil imports from the UAE. – (safety4sea +2)

Note: 2025 data is based on available preliminary reports for the year ending in early 2026, including data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and Statistics Canada. – (IEA – International Energy Agency +4)

Then why are gas prices skyrocketing in Canada?

My conclusions:

It seems that closing of the Strait of Hormuz is mainly affecting Asian markets, including China. A coincidence? You decide.

It also looks like the globalist “elites” are crushing the traditionally leading western economies in order to implement their Great Reset and, below them, our local suppliers and retailers are more than happy to use every excuse and every opportunity to expand their predatory price gouging, while the corrupted governments are looking the other way. Sky is the limit. What’s new? I think they are trying to convince people that nationalization and central management of economy, (read: communism), are the only way to get rid of this mess. Is this the script, the game, and the real goal?
