Iran

[Vol8188]

It's 80% down in traffic.


The flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz ticked higher on Monday despite ongoing threats from Iran, Goldman Sachs said in a note to clients.
The number of oil vessels crossing the strait was at 20% of pre-war levels on Monday, according to a Goldman analysis of ship-tracking data from S&P Global and Kpler. Over the past four days, Goldman estimates tankers carried about about 1.6 million barrels a day through the strait—still far below the average of about 20 million barrels per day before the conflict.

Sure but that is mainly due to insurance which is why Trump proposed insuring the vessels.

I believe he may have instituted it already. But I’m uncertain

Well then it's still 80% down. But as this article from
Fox accurately points out the insurance is great and all but who they hell wants to be on these boats?

The unlikely tool Trump is eyeing to tackle rising oil prices amid the Iran conflict

He literally announced it yesterday.

Announced March 8th. And you ignored my question. You playing boat captain for one million dollars?

Lol, literally parroting Putin.

Alright he announced it two days ago. Your question was rhetorical. It’s a bad joke to pretend you really wanted me to answer “who the hell wants to be on these boats”.

Is staffing the boats not an issue? Obviously no one wants to be on the boats. So his insurance ain't helpful in getting the job done in one major area

I thought I read somewhere that some ships were turning off their transponders to get through the strait

Staffing is an issue for any company. We will see if his insurance helps. I imagine most policies take more than 48 hours to know if they were successful or not.

No one claimed offering insurance solves every problem, but it’s a reasonable start.

Same

 

[n_huffhines]

Just like any other ally

It's just "parts" but still creates risk for S Korea

You’re blaming Israel for this decision? Weird

 

[Volbucky]

So which one do you believe? Why had the DoW not come out to definitively prove it wasn't ours?

Probably because defending yourself while innocent is dumb as ****.

The reasonable start was not engaging in this endeavor

Said no sane person ever. If you can prove it you do so. We certainly have the intel. Otherwise your just giving your enemies propaganda

What’s a bad joke is saying boats are continuing through the strait

So if some rando that already doesn’t like you accuses you of screwing around on your wife, are you going to say what a dumb ass and ignore them or flail around and explain yourself for doing nothing wrong? Goodluck with that plan

 

[Ritzwatch]

@n_huffhines, still awaiting a consistent condemnation of the Iranian attacks on Israeli civilians.

Are they coming anytime soon? Or are attacks targeting Israelis ok on your world?

Can't wait for some of the posters in this thread to post their sign-up papers.

Fully disagree

You are talking to someone who thinks it is strange for us to defend Israel, but also weird if we don’t defend S Korea. Consistency is not his strength.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

You don’t think if the US tried to completely wipe Israel off the map they couldn’t do it?

Well of course if we tried, but why would we attack our biggest ally?
