I'm not claiming to be a petroleum industry expert, but my guess is that a $40 a barrel would be unprofitable for a significant chunk of current producers and not profitable enough to incentivize and finance future exploration and development for most others.

Is this the day Iran is supposed to unleash its modern arsenal on us?

Second: your favorite regime, delierately attacked Arab's energy infrastructure, and they are retaliating. so, again, frick OFF. Stick to your Gaza, Palestine those crap, leave Iranians alone. we will rip you apart. frick off Jihadi mogol.

Didn't the Shah get deposed within half a decade of nationalizing oil as a means (at least partly) to fund initiatives to get social unrest under control without having to use the SAVAK cudgel?

The X idiots are concerned that BAPCO refinery makes crude oil.

Supposedly we struck some Iranian vessels. They have been using container and oil tanker ships to disguise mobile missile and drone launching platforms, so maybe these were some of those ships.

That was about kicking the British parent company of BP out of Iran. Exxon and others took its place. The Shah would have not been deposed if he had ordered Iran's military to control commie protests in Tehran. Those protests were Russian backed. There had been a communist element especially among academia in Iran for decades. France had given shelter to the mullahs for decades. France and England flew them back in to take over the protests as nice guys.

I doubt Mojtaba Khamenei is even alive.... I think the regime is desperately trying to keep his true fate under wraps in an effort to appear legitimate/semi functional.

If so, that’s kind of brilliant. Political Weekend at Bernie’s.
They would have created a leader that is impossible to assassinate. All that needs to be done for their members is to have the illusion of Khamenel being in power.

There are definitely doubts. You would have to think a video address to the nation would be one of the first things to prove it’s still viable.
He’s either hurt or dead.

U.S. officials are reportedly discussing seizing Kharg Island, the offshore terminal responsible for 90% of Iran's oil exports.
We're talking direct American military control of Iran's economic lifeline.
That's just the opening move. The plan then shifts to securing Iran's nuclear facilities and locking down the Strait of Hormuz itself.
America wouldn't just be bombing Iran anymore. It would be occupying its most strategic assets.
Kharg Island. Nuclear sites. Hormuz.
That's literally the takeover of the Persian Gulf.
US officials might have discussed the move but they are not seriously planning on doing it. If they were seriously discussing doing it then we would not be discussing it on social media right now.

Crude futures currently crashing. $119 to $98 over the last few hours.

Not necessarily
This Administration is very comfortable with accessing social media. Simply consider the information leading up to this moment and the access given pundits since.
Doesn't have to be a USA thing, could be regional

I thought we had severely diminished their ability to launch missiles and drones. This is turning out to be a harder operation than we thought

Most of the opinions you read, even from the news, are wildly uninformed. Drones have drastically changed strategic and tactical considerations.
