      Also at least 3 vessels have been heavily damaged, with another 3 suffering minor damage. Notably, some of the attacks were carried out by drone boats.

      At sea the situation looks like a traffic jam on a planetary scale. Roughly 250 oil and LNG tankers are waiting around Hormuz, including about 112 crude carriers i.e, roughly 70 of them VLCC supertankers; unable to move safely through the corridor.

      The combined impact is that around 15 million barrels/day of exports are offline or stuck; nearly 15% of global consumption . If this lasts a month, Wood Mackenzie warns $150 oil hits within weeks as demand destruction kicks in, and $200 is ’not outside the realms of possibility‘ bcz the supply gap is too big for reserves or alternative flows to fix ; global inventories are at 5-year lows and burning fast. In other words, the oil is not destroyed instead it is logistically frozen.

      Now 112 tankers are trapped in the world’s most expensive traffic jam . If this „Mosaic Doctrine“ of 31 independent IRGC commands keeps firing for a month, $150 oil is a certainty and $200 becomes a mathematical reality as global reserves hit empty.

      Who thought that it was a great idea to build energy dependency on region which is not geopolitically very stable?

      So far the US has restrained itself from attacking things like de-salinization plants and the Iranian electrical grid. It would not be hard for the US to do such damage that it would take years for Iran to restore basic services in the country.

      I think that we might want to make it clear to the Iranians that if they do not cut it out, we could start targeting a little of that. If they wanna get dirty and try to wreck the global economy, we can ruin Iran for an entire generation. I have had it up to here with these mullahs

      And this is why US warships have a bunch of machine guns and autocannons on them.

      Just remember when somebody says this will be over soon, that Gaza took years and yet Gaza a tiny area managed to launch missiles and projectiles back at Israel, and even in such a small area also held the power there.

      Iran is not over anytime soon either from a change in regime or a loss of firepower

      Iran continues to make strategic mistake after strategic mistake. Imagine if they limited their targets to American bases and ships in the area – they would actually have SOME support for their cause. Instead they hit oil fields, commercial ships, apartment buildings, etc. If they concentrated on bases they would likely overwhelm defenses and actually inflict real damage.
