Fair enough although I would sum up by suggesting that Big Oil and its political proxies are highly unlikely to leave any definitive evidence of their inherently unlawful market rigging conspiracies, although over time historians and researchers often do eventually uncover the definitive evidence you are seeking as decades later government documents are eventually declassified...long after anyone responsible could be held to account.
Plausible deniability is their default modus operandi.
All we can do in regard to seeking to understand present day events unfolding is join the dots and consider past behaviour, follow the money, and extrapolate what is likely to be happening.

The 'evidence' you request is in the actions taken and who they benefit.
Not sure the 10x claim is carrying so much weight- rather that you are asserting things that I have not asserted.
Do either of us know and have evidence for the exact degree of increase for US/Chevron CNG since these military actions by the US government? No- that data is probably held by Chevron as 'commercially sensitive'.
The point is all these blockades do directly and logically significantly increase demand for US gas and Chevron does benefit from that.
If you seriously doubt that Big Oil corporates have a significant influence on US government policy and military actions over the last 70 odd years then lets agree to disagree...starting with the removal of the democratically elected Mossadagh government of Iran in 1953!
The petrodollar is perhaps the most significant US strategic economic asset and is based upon military power projection. There is plenty of evidence for this and this war provides more every day!
