Commenters are accusing policymakers of being 'absolutely determined' to score another own goal before November 3rd, tying the warning to oil, the Iran war and Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal. Posts labelled with war and oil-price hashtags suggest frustration that escalating action around the island could drive crude prices up and worsen the conflict ahead of early November.
