Whoever is writing the script for 2026 should be fired for straining suspension of disbelief this much.
Iran decides to close the strait, and the first fucking ship they hit is allegedly belongs to the shadow tanker fleet and has iranian crew on board…

Roughly a fifth of the world’s oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. You start lobbing shit at tankers in that chokepoint and it’s a global price spike with a navy escort soundtrack.

I wonder if we’ll see Trump „I did that“ stickers on gas pumps.

The ship that was attacked, The Skylight, is on the US list of sanctioned ships, and is likely part of the shadow fleet and part of it’s crew is Iranian.

Did they use an Iranian drone built in Russia? Because that would bring this whole thing full circle.

Iran has a ton of small fast boats so the USA is going to get zerged. I hope the rest of the world lets the USA figure it out themselves….

„The Palau-flagged oil tanker is reportedly under US sanctions.“
LOL, one of the Russian shadow ships.

50% of china’s oil goes through the strait of hormuz FYI. That has nothing to do with this battle, though… don’t you start thinking we are baiting China to get involved or suffer economic struggle. We wouldn’t do that…. ok just because we are actively doing it to Cuba rn, we wouldn’t do it to China.

This was done intentionally. It shows Iran is willing to hit tankers in the strait, without drawing in the rest of the Gulf or Greece.

Expect oil/gas prices to go up because of this.
