Iranian oil flows through Strait of Hormuz even as Gulf neighbors' exports shut | Reuters https://share.google/AVlObgmZis51ckI2x9NEW YORK/LONDON/HOUSTON, March 11 (Reuters) - Iranian crude oil has continued to flow through the Strait of Hormuz at a near-normal pace even as Tehran-linked attacks on ships in the narrow waterway have decimated exports from other Gulf countries, a Reuters review of tanker tracking data showed.
Iran has exported about 13.7 million barrels of crude oil since Israel and the U.S. launched attacks on the country on February 28, according to analysis from TankerTrackers.com, a maritime intelligence company that specializes in tracking the so-called shadow fleet, a network of vessels used to transport oil and gas from countries under Western sanctions.
Pentagon is terrified that China (Major importer of Iranian crude) might retaliate if Trump shuts down the flow of oil to China. Trump aka TACO will chicken out and let Iran continue using the Straight of Hormuz while shutting the Straight of Hormuz to America's allies.
Oil at $100 a barrel will also help Putin's war machine in Ukraine. A big win for Trump and his best bro....Putin.
