Why? They're not exposed to a loss if a client sends it's ship through the straight. That's why shipping has stopped.

What about when regular shipping resumes?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Oh I’d guess the owners of the ship’s cargo are the worried ones. It’s very straight forward for the insurers they just tell the ship owner and captain “if you try to transit the straight you do it without insurance coverage.” Nothing to sweat. Meanwhile whomever owns that loaded oil has a huge capital investment that is worthless for an undetermined time

An RPG aimed and shot at a tanker would have me worried for sure.

I am far from zealous for war. If goes like the Truth Deniers say it will, it will mean my Son would be mostly likely sent to combat. I have skin in the game.
I am absolutely over the moon that this operation is going extraordinarily well.
I am not at all naive. My son has an expert's insight in the military aspects (it's his freaking job) of all this and he has given me a lot of optimism. Probably if it weren't for that I would give the Truth Deniers and the Doomers more credibility, but they are completely full of .

$5 Trump dollars your kid works in supply as a grunt.

Trump

I thought he took his orders from Netanyahu? Now it's the Saudis?

He is beholden to a lot of people. The American public, not so much.

Take a look at that post OB posted a few back. A Chinese tanker was attacked by an Iranian missile… in Oman coastal waters. They can shoot clear across the strait at the narrowest points.

Iran doesn’t solely control the strait. Neither does the US. But collectively between the two the strait is closed

 

[FLVOL_79]

They didnt before the war..

You honestly think Iran controls the straights?

 

[FLVOL_79]

What im hearing is the US gonna accept a peace plan that is basically a creation of Iran's. Similar to ones in the past. They pinky swear not to do stuff for tons of their assets being unfrozen.

are these facts or is this just a wet dream of yours? Or hoping this will happen? I hear TDS makes people's reality and fantasy blur

Iran imposes new rules for strait in bid to secure wartime gains

If the have so much control of the Strait, how is it they can't get their ships out or in?

 

[NorthDallas40]

The clear fallout of all this is gonna be a couple of sweet new pipelines thru Oman to bypass the strait

They can't, they don't have the control of The Straits as they think they do

Good question, one I'm sure Lloyds is being asked regularly.

They are talking about that. I thought they already had pipelines that bypass the straights. They are also talking about digging a Canal that would bypass the straights all together

That's not a bad thing

I dont think it would do to much actually.

That's the best.case scenario for everyone not Iran or Russia leg humpers.

 

[Orangeburst]

Iran hit a terminal on the Red Sea for UAE oil already.

They can't, they don't have the control of The Straits as they think they do

Can either of y’all post a list of commercial vessels that have transited the strait in the last week? I can go dig up an article that I read earlier that stated I think around 1,500 ships were stuck in limbo.

 

[rikberry31]

I have a good friend that just retired who was a 2 star general over the 278th

That's cool. I really don't understand the whole story, but my lost out on some stuff because he was technically never deployed according to the Army. I don't why or how they did that and he doesn't really know the whole scoop, they don't tell the grunts a lot. He found out he was "never deployed" when he returned and put in for some stuff and was denied.

Edit: He did say that most of the higher officers were actually from Pennsylvania.

They do but the majority still moves via ship thru the strait. That clearly is going to get corrected once this fiasco is over.

Was he on his 2 week summer training when he was sent over?

Yeah

Let's not forget the hot babes of Oman that will be encountered as well!

Pretty smile

 

[NorthDallas40]

It isn’t. It just wasn’t economically needed before this fiasco. That situation has obviously changed.

 

[85SugarVol]

I might have my wires crossed. I thought your "rocket man" referenced KimJon and North Korea. they made headlines about a decade ago for a successful space flight to the sun.

Yea that was hot news at the time

 

[rikberry31]

Was he on his 2 week summer training when he was sent over?

No, he left in the early spring. He was supposed to be going for some training, I don't know what, but it got cancelled when they told him was going. He actually was sent to Texas before Christmas for 2 months before he went overseas.
