PLUS, the UAE (soon to be flowed by the Saudis) are walking away from OPEC (that is why the UAE asked for that assurance, line of credit backing, whatever it was) and they have a pipeline they can use, this will ensure cheap prices not matter what Iran does. They will pump as much as they want, creating oil abundance world wide.

Reminds me of that line from Denzel in Man on Fire: “I got plenty of time. You don’t, but I do.”

How are they “moving” it? In what quantities?

It is true that Iran has loaded some oil and sent it to China via rail.

However using rail is unsustainable, labor intensive, and expensive vs Tanker.

Iran really needs the blockade over or their oil industry is toast.

My biggest takeaway from this is that he appears to be exhausting all options before making the call to put boots on the ground. If he's able to get regime change with this approach that's one heck of an accomplishment.

We did…what? That would be considered a success?

Broke some stuff that will be replaced? Killed some dudes that have already been replaced?

Who do you think can hold out longer…Iranian leadership or the U.S. bond market?

The 10-year is nudging up to Trump’s TACO zone this morning.

Blockade plus strikes on the remaining oil storage facilities would be even more effective. Plus, the side benefit is the rest of the world is finally doing what they should have done 50 years ago, figure out how to move the oil without using the straight
