Looks like the war with Iran is cooking off

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM Commander: An Iranian drone carrier ship, the size of a World War 2 aircraft carrier, is currently on fire after being hit by U.S. forces.

"And as we speak, it's on fire..."

"You may have heard the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships. That was true. At the moment, we're now up over 30 ships."

Hormuz blockade threatens Gulf supplies

Kpler data highlight how Gulf supply chains depend on container hubs connected to the Strait of Hormuz. Dubai’s Jebel Ali, the region’s largest container gateway with capacity near 19m TEU, anchors much of this trade, alongside Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia’s Dammam port. While the strait is blocked, vessels will not be able to access these ports. Alternatives including Khorfakkan, Sohar and Jeddah are emerging, although their throughput capacity is significantly lower. Together with road networks across the Peninsula, these corridors handle much of the region’s containerised imports, including food and everyday consumer goods.

The immediate effect of a continuing blockade would likely be seen in supplies of fresh produce, meat and dairy, which rely on near daily imports to stock supermarket shelves. The region imports more than 90 per cent of its food, meaning shortages could emerge if disruption lasts weeks.

According to Kpler, Over the past year, Iran has exported 1.65 million barrels of crude oil per day.
Today, they are loading 8 million barrels at Kharg Island. If they don't, then there is a risk that the storage tanks on shore will hit capacity and the country will have to wind down its oil production the way Iraq recently announced.
