There is no evidence of this being a real issue
There is Iranian propaganda.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel is working in full coordination with the United States to increase economic and military pressure on Iran, while also pursuing what he described as a “historic” peace process with Lebanon despite efforts by Hezbollah to derail it.
In a video message released Friday, Netanyahu said Israel had “set out to change the reality of the Middle East,” emphasizing that current actions were reinforcing that strategy.
“Regarding Iran, I had a very good conversation with the president,” he said, referring to Donald Trump. “He is putting very strong pressure on Iran, both economically and militarily. And we are acting in full cooperation.”
Netanyahu also pointed to developments on Israel’s northern front, saying a diplomatic track with Lebanon had begun.
“In Lebanon, we have started a process to achieve a historic peace between Israel and Lebanon,” he said, adding that “it is clear to us that Hezbollah is trying to sabotage this.”

Looks like they were chased to the rooftop in a firefight and then they got bombed.

Once they're forced to shut down their oil wells for any amount of time, it's game over financially for them.
And this desperate move to buy themselves 48 hours only proves as much
quote:
Her name is NASHA. IMO 9079107. Built 1996. A two-million-barrel very large crude carrier that has been anchored empty off Kharg for years. TankerTrackers confirmed her reactivation yesterday. Gulf News, Iran International, and Fox News all picked it up within hours.
The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil.
Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13. Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues. The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week.
NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy.
A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production. After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else. The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough. Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13. That cannot absorb a million barrels a day.
The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back.
The Asmari and Bangestan carbonate formations that sit under most of Iran’s giant southern fields are high-permeability, strong-water-drive systems. The Society of Petroleum Engineers literature on this specific reservoir class is unambiguous. Remove continuous pressure support for a prolonged shut-in and four damage mechanisms activate simultaneously: water coning upward through the fracture network, fines migration into pore throats, formation compaction under increased effective stress, and clay swelling under altered salinity and pH. The damage is not theoretical. It is documented. And it is measured in months to years of recoverable production capacity, not days.
Maleki and Gordon estimate three hundred to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss if the current shut-in trajectory completes. That is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement, but the direction is not in dispute.
NASHA is the archaeological signature of the clock.
When a country with the world’s third-largest oil reserves reactivates a thirty-year-old retired tanker to float on top of its main export terminal and buy forty-eight hours of time, the institutional systems designed to absorb shocks have already failed. The insurance market, the shadow fleet, the diplomatic channels, and the reservoir physics are all converging on the same conclusion at different speeds, and NASHA is the one that shows up on satellite.
The market is pricing a ceasefire.
The Pentagon is pricing six months of mine clearance.
Iran just pulled a corpse out of the Persian Gulf and asked it to buy two days.
That is not how a reversible crisis looks. That is how a regime tells you, operationally, that it has run out of options between the blockade and the shut-in. The reservoir does not negotiate.

JUST IN: Trump administration has reportedly frozen $344 million in cryptocurrency linked to Iran.
Impossible. Everyone knows crypto is anonymous, decentralized, and was envisioned to protect against this exact problem.

Frankly, we don't know much of anything from our position, but it's plausible we used a ton of them because we could.
I guess my point is that if the information on our stockpile is accurate (and it very well may not be), that amount of munitions is woefully low for any sort of major conflict.
If suddenly we found ourselves fighting Russia in Europe or China in the SCS, we'd blow through those numbers in days.
Put another way, if we deplete half our stockpile in 40 days in a very limited action involving a small amount of our forces, the stockpile isn't big enough.

Seems like I haven't seen many posts lately about the people inside Iran that want the current government ousted. Did all those people get whacked?

The regime started rounding up a lot the starlink units and users.I still see several users from X posting from the inside when they can, but a lot of it has dropped off unfortunately.

Two days of production is all that tanker will hold. This is not some bold move, but delaying the inevitable for a few days
