That's probably how that works.


Last I heard Iran had 2 -3 weeks more oil storage before they need to shut in wells.

Who knows exactly how much time they have and news reporting on current statuses vary.

Iran unveiled a mural honoring regime leaders killed in the war.

Among them is their latest Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, raising speculation, but there has been no official confirmation as of yet of his passing.

The regime’s leadership crisis is deepening.

The British, French, and Herman leaders are living in fear of the Muslims they have let over run their countries. The will now be assassinated if the go against them.

Dude sure got butthurt when asked why he wouldn’t denounce a monarchy if he truly cared about the country’s freedom.

Israel used graphite bombs on Iranian power lines earlier in the war as a warning. They had the power back on in several hours.

We tried the same thing in Serbia with similar results- we eventually ended up bombing all their power plants.

Any of us who have been in a refinery or tank farm know this. By your initial statement you haven't been near any

I counted on Wikipedia world wide and I have been in 114 different refineries and chemical plants in my younger years.

The last floating roof tank I entered was at Murphy Oil in Mereaux, La.after Katrina to do an estimate on repairs.

The tank floated off the foundation several ft. and the floor plate was buckled and there was about a 6 ft. crown from silt washing under the floor plate.

They decided to demo and replace that tank in kind.

Have a nice day and sorry if I upset you.

It is normal to flood "empty" tanks with water ahead of a hurricane too keep from floating away.

Why use Wikipedia if you have experience with tanks?

As far as Grokpedia, it is pure crap.

I am editing an AI generated "teaser" for technology presentation to a client. Surprising the engineer who is a solid believer in AI put out the crappiest presentation I have ever see.

Iranian oil storage tanks at Jask terminal have reached maximum capacity.
If the US naval blockade (imposed since April 13, 2026) continues, Iran will be forced to shut down oil production from its wells within days. This will cause permanent damage to its oil fields. Repairing the damage will take years and billions of dollars.
Daily Losses:
• Approximately $435 million per day.
• Halt of ~1.5 million barrels of oil exports daily.
Broader Impacts:
• Near-total collapse of oil revenues (Iran’s main source of income).
• Severe economic pressure that may push Iran toward negotiations or escalation.
The blockade remains in effect until a “comprehensive deal,” according to Trump. The situation is critical — every day costs Iran a heavy price.

I would not be surprised if they kept pumping but send into the strait itself.

Blame the US for causing an environmental disaster.
