Hurricane Isaias is threatening America’s Gulf Coast energy infrastructure. Federal officials reported that nearly 63% of offshore Gulf crude production was temporarily shut in as the storm approached.

Meanwhile, Iranian attacks on commercial shipping are intensifying, international oil prices are under pressure, and President Donald Trump has announced the United States will not resume attacks on Iran before the November 3 midterm elections.

Could these simultaneous energy crises have influenced the president’s decision?

In today’s Justus Knight report, we examine the hurricane, the Gulf production shutdowns, oil prices, tanker attacks, the administration’s public explanation and the unanswered questions surrounding the November election deadline.

The economic connection is worth investigating, but there is no verified evidence that the hurricane directly caused Trump’s announcement.

The biggest question: What happens after November 3?
