Does not make sense IMO. Especially with possible return of Iranian energy on world market. Only way maybe it does, is if some got spooked by the gas shortage caused by the recent hack attack and the political folk in Team Dem overruled the warmongers in this instance because they’re not happy with re-election prospects in 2022. With energy prices and inflation spiking voters could get uncooperative, and since the warmongers got their preferred team in power, they are on board with that.
