Also kinda shocked they didn’t revoke it until now thought they would have done this years ago.

It was only reinstated weeks ago due to the MoU. Now it's off again.

On the MoU, it's pretty obvious it was a pretense to restock oil and armaments.

My question is: were these few weeks enough or aren't those bozos even thinking anymore?

Is there any data on how European oil reserves have been doing over the last 4 months?

They definitely tried since Iran bombed the same bases again, but it's nowhere near enough to restore even part of it. In fact, i do not think anyone except ignorants ever believed the MoU will hold, US couldn't keep it even for few weeks, and Isn'treal for few seconds. US and all their dogs are rabid, any talks are pointless.

Agreed on it being a pretense. And yeah, how much oil could they get in just a few weeks? Now it's back to Hormuz being shut for these genocidal fucks.

Iran: Continues to sell oil to countries that don't give a fuck.
