If we had just stitched to wind/solar/battery and gone full tilt on electric cars we wouldn’t be having nearly as much trouble with all this.
Also not letting a demented pedophile run the US.
I remember reading this news article about people trying to get oil out of Iran and they were doing it by dumping it into this concrete-lined hole and the explanation was that there’s a pipe running between the hole across the border to I guess another team who receives the oil… so it looks like you’re just dumping oil into the desert.
If I’m reading the article me correctly, they’re transferring from large tankers to smaller “shuttle” tankers that can traverse the shallow Omani coastal waters through the straight to then transfer into large tankers again.
Will Iran tolerate this? Or do we think Iran is actually cool with it because now they get to save face by appearing to still posture strongly against the US while making money from their oil again?
I think it’s more likely that they’re finding it difficult to target these ships at the absolute far end of the Strait in the cover of night, probably with a screen of cheaper interceptors in between
US sources might be exaggerating how much they’re getting through so are people who think Iran can just see and hit every dark vessel hugging Oman
