As we had previously informed and warned, the regime no longer practically has sufficient capacity for storing and fully offloading the extracted oil.
Therefore, for the past few days, it has apparently been pretending to transfer oil to tankers, but in reality, a significant portion of the oil is being dumped directly into the sea.
Let me repeat:
They are pouring oil into the sea!
And this means deliberate and widespread environmental pollution.
As we had previously warned and reported, the regime no longer appears to possess sufficient storage capacity to properly handle the output from its oil fields.
As a result, for the past several days it has seemingly pretended to transfer oil into tankers, while in reality a significant amount is allegedly being dumped directly into the sea.
Let me repeat that:
They are dumping oil into the sea.
And that means deliberate and large-scale environmental pollution.

Only about 2,000 of more than 27,000 workers at Isfahan’s Mobarakeh Steel Company have returned to work after US and Israeli strikes on the site, Tehran-based news website Rouydad24 reported on Thursday.
Those who returned were mainly administrative and managerial staff and production at the major steel complex remained halted, according to the report.

If Trump wants the US to win this, he’s going to have to make the US the clear bad guy to the global community. The people of Iran aren’t going to rise up until there is effectively no Iran to speak of. That much is clear to me and most other people.
In the quote above you say it's clear to you (and "most people") that the the population won't rise up as Iran is destroyed. In other words, the regime will sacrifice the entire country rather than give up their foreign militia and their nuclear ambitions.
Then you post this in the Tucker - nukes thread when someone asks if you support Iran having nuclear weapons:
quote:
I think conceptually an argument can be made for it. I think you can squint and see that the US/Saudi/Israeli/Gulf States interest against it is more about balance of power concerns than existential concerns.
So a dictatorial radical Islamist regime that attacks their neighbors, destabilizes the region by funding militias, says Israel has no right to exist and America is the great satan, is okay to have nuclear weapons because that's not an existential threat. They'll destroy their own country rather than abandon their invasive strategies and associated threats to hold the middle east oil industry hostage, but nukes are okay.
None of that's clear to me, at all. I believe the Iranian people will eventually stand up and fight for themselves, but if stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons makes the US the bad guy, so be it. If the "most people" who agree with you suddenly believe it's okay for this regime to have nukes, after decades of agreeing that rogue regimes, including and specifically Iran, can not be allowed to acquire nukes, then I think most people who agree with you are too stupid for their own well-being.

IRAN CLAIMS CONTROL OVER STRAIT OF HORMUZ SHIPPING
Iranian state TV says all vessels are now awaiting permission to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, signaling tighter control over the key shipping lane.
A reporter for IRIB said no ships are currently transiting and claimed approvals from Iran’s naval forces are required for passage. The broadcast framed this as Iran asserting authority over maritime traffic in the area.
Shipping intelligence sources also reported a new Iranian body to oversee transits and collect fees, while noting no vessel movement through the strait in recent days.

What the frick???
They were promised hell to rain down on Iran and now Trump is trying to cut a deal that leaves the IRGC intact. They feel slighted. Because they were slighted. This is their only real means to push back.

While trumps methods can work in many situations the longer this goes it’s unnerving our allies more than the Iranians. Our unclear intentions leave them not wanting to stick their necks out too far against an Iran which may stay intact.

Ain't nobody holding a gun to their collective heads telling them they cannot exert their military...heckfire, it is - after all, their neighborhood
Didn't see the USA calling upon them in Venezuela
P.S. Further, if there is a time to whack Iran --- if it isn't now - when?

The biggest problem with Trump's methods is that he may have underestimated the suicidal fervor of his political enemies. We have prominent figures in the US spreading what amounts to Iranian supporting propaganda. Even Iran's state propaganda has broadcast some of it. You have a well-known writer for the NYT publicly saying that he doesn't support US victory because he doesn't want Trump to get credit for disarming Iran. This attitude is widely echoed in social media, and indirectly from Trump hating mainstream media's complete absence of support. There's nobody in Congress wearing Lion and Sun lapel pins.
In 2012, the EU put sanctions on Iran's oil because of their nuclear ambitions, and it set off a crisis when Iran threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Everyone was united that Iran must back down, and they did after a coalition of navies sailed right into the Persian Gulf. This time it's different. The US leftists have chosen the side of Iran. China and Russia have always been on Iran's side, so the Russia-hating US left suddenly swallows their anti-Russia bile. The EU bloc and Britain have effectively done the same, possibly because they are now "Islamist-adjacent" countries.
Trump's methods are less effective when the Iranian regime has constant reassurance, emanating even from America, that he will not be allowed to take them down. Of course that's the intent, as specifically espoused by the likes of Tom Friedman; moral support for the enemy because they will oppose Trump even to the detriment of their own country.

According to Reuters, citing a report by the Chinese media outlet Ciaxin, a Chinese large refined-products tanker was struck by an Iranian projectile off the United Arab Emirates Al Jeer port this past Monday. Per a source from the owner of the vessel, this is the first time a Chinese vessel was struck by Iranian fires since the conflict began. The vessel was reportedly marked “Chinese owner and crew” and was still targeted.

Of course, I should also mention that this news pertains to the renowned Emirati journalist Amjad Taha. And so far, only this one source has reported this news.
In my opinion, it makes sense too—accepting such a deal would essentially be a form of suicide for the regime.
