US Arrests & Boots Soleimani's Fashion Designer Niece From The Country
The Trump administration is rounding up family members of notable Iranian government figures, accusing them of spreading 'pro-Tehran propaganda'. And apparently this is even if the Iranian officials in question are deceased.
The State Department confirmed an unexpected development on Saturday, announcing that the niece of the late Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani is being booted from the country.

In other words, the oil shock was viewed as temporary by major shale players and not worth adding new drilling rigs to the mix.
But now, on day 35 of Operation Epic Fury, that assumption about a less responsive U.S. shale patch in the face of soaring energy prices looks increasingly stale. President Trump's remarks earlier this week were viewed by some analysts as less of a de-escalation. Trump said, "We are going to hit them extremely hard. Over the next two to three weeks, we're going to bring them back to the Stone Age."
