This story is just plain stupid.

It looks like fate nearly took these two dirtbags out. Hopefully they will get some prison justice.

It's the type of oil that makes the difference. There a 3 main kinds of crude oil. Not all refineries can handle them all. Most of the time a refinery is set up to handle just one type. You can't just switch types.
Absolutely true. I used to transport Potash and Urea from rail yards to farms. This time a year was the "crazy busy" time. Those rail cars we loaded from were loaded weeks/months earlier.
That's northern hemisphere growing season. Fertilizer is used year round. It just gets shipped to different areas depending on the time of year. Crops can be planted with less or even none. It's the yields that suffer. Yes, prices are going up no matter what happens. I have to wonder if the USA...
It looks like the Iranian people are actively helping the Israeli military target the govt forces. This may be much different than previous American actions in the middle east. Remember, the protesters wanted this. The majority of Iranians are against their govt.
They are going to be even worse off when the oil does start flowing again. Iran/Venezuela previously sold oil to China priced/paid in Chinese yuan. That was putting pressure on the Petro dollar. Now when buying Venezuelan oil China has to pay in USA dollars. I would assume the same will happen...
I would guess they might take Kharg Island first. If Iran is going to fall Kharg Island would probably look like Kuwait right after the Iraqi army pulled out. I think it may be Iran's largest oil loading facility. Trump is going to want that in one piece.
Early reports say the shooter was stopped(shot) and got burned up by a car fire. No other causalities reported. The synagogue has armed security.

It looks like Iran is lashing out at all it's neighbors? Maybe the plan is to set the middle east on fire before they are wiped out? I have to say that Trumps actions in Venezuela may protect us from an oil shock if the middle east does go up in flames.
Zerohedge had the same article this morning. Looks like China has a "cheap oil" problem". Good for them. ;)

Taking the DEF system off and reprogramming the ECU are already possible. I've driven a couple trucks with it done. One had a Cummins ISX the other was a Paccar 13 liter. They run so much better. Some states you can get away with it. Some you can't.
