White House official Jarrod Agen dropped a bombshell during an appearance on FOX Business. Agen, serving as Deputy Assistant to the President and Executive Director of the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), laid out the administration’s long-term strategy to wrest control of Iran’s massive oil reserves from the clutches of radical Islamic terrorists.
According to Agen, the turmoil currently rattling global energy markets is a short-term cost that will ultimately deliver a strategic victory for the United States and its allies.
“This is a long-term gain because what we want to do is get such massive oil reserves in Iran out of the hands of terrorists,” Agen said.
“What we’re going to experience here in the short term is highly outweighed by the long-term benefit because ultimately, we’re not going to have to worry about these issues in the Strait of Hormuz because we’re going to get all of the oil out of the hands of terrorists.”
Agen’s comments come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, where Iran’s ayatollahs and their proxy terror groups have once again disrupted global energy supplies by closing the vital Strait of Hormuz.
This critical waterway, through which about 20% of the world’s oil passes, has been a flashpoint for Iranian aggression for years, thanks to the weak policies of previous administrations like Biden’s, which emboldened the regime with billions in sanctions relief.
The NEDC, established to cut through bureaucratic red tape and unleash U.S. energy potential, is now spearheading efforts to neutralize Iran’s oil-funded terrorism.
Agen compared the strategy to the successful turnaround in Venezuela, where U.S. intervention has revitalized oil production and sidelined socialist dictators
As oil prices spike due to the Strait’s closure, Agen emphasized the bigger picture: Short-term pain for long-term gain.
With U.S. production at record highs thanks toTrump’s pro-fossil fuel policies,America is positioned to lead the world out of this crisis.
