#US forces fired on & disabled 2 Iranian #oil tankers on Friday after exchanging fire with #Iran forces in the #StraitOfHormuz overnight. The #UAE, meanwhile, reported another Iranian missile & drone attack.
The attacks cast more doubt on a tenuous month-old “ceasefire” that the US has insisted is still in effect. The #Trump admin is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the #war, reopen the strait & roll back Iran’s #nuclear program.
#Iran Says It Is Discussing Plan With #US to End Hostilities
The one-page proposal under review would open the #StraitOfHormuz & pause the fighting for 30 days, but differences remain over US demands on Iran’s #nuclear program.

#Trump admin sows “confusion” as it tries to reopen #StraitOfHormuz [they just have no idea what they’re doing]
The Trump admin’s approach to the #IranWar over the past 24 hrs has pinballed from declarations that a tenuous ceasefire was holding & military operations were over to new threats of bombing the Islamic Republic.

The #US #military fired on an Iranian #oil tanker Wednesday as #Trump seeks to pressure #Iran into accepting a deal to end the #war.
A fighter jet shot out the rudder of the tanker in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to breach the US #blockade of Iran’s ports, #CENTCOM posted.
The attack occurred as Iran & the US are supposedly in a ceasefire. Trump threatened Tehran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached that includes opening the critical #StraitOfHormuz.
There is no #ceasefire, stop pretending there is.
#Iran warns #US the fight over #StraitOfHormuz hasn’t ‘begun yet’
#Trump warned Iranian forces would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if they targeted US ships.
Trump made similar threats before—including posting that “a whole civilization will die”—but this time, they were accompanied by military action. Trump posted Monday afternoon that the military “shot down” 7 Iranian boats in the strait.

Iran rejects US claim that vessels have crossed through #Hormuz
The #IRGC said NO commercial vessel or tanker had crossed the Strait of Hormuz in the past few hours.
The IRGC called claims by US officials "baseless & complete lies."
Earlier Monday, US #CENTCOM said 2 US flagged merchant vessels had crossed thru the strait.

#US #military denies claim that #Iran struck US naval vessel
#CENTCOM has denied claims from Iranian state media that a US vessel was struck by Iranian missiles near the #StraitOfHormuz.
“No US Navy ships have been struck,” CENTCOM posted on X.
State news agency IRNA had reported, citing a military statement, that “following a firm & rapid warning by its navy, the entry of what it described as US & Israeli enemy destroyers into the Strait of Hormuz was prevented.”
If somebody hasn't done so already, I think Solnit's article (referenced in Cory's blog/post) is worth surfacing:

A Japanese oil tanker has crossed the Strait of #Hormuz after paying transit fees to Iran in Chinese yuan, according to official Iranian media.
Insurrectionist Trump has made sure that China is the world leader.
China holds $700 billion of U.S. debt and uses the interest from it to help fund its military. China Refines 99% of samarium-cobalt needed to produce US' Tomahawk missiles & Patriot interceptors.

#Trump contradicted his #Energy Secy Chris Wright, who warned it may be next year before #gas #prices come down to pre-Iran war levels.
“No, I think he’s wrong on that. Totally wrong,” Trump said to The Hill.
Wright said in an interview on CNN Sunday that the #US might not see gas prices fall below $3/gallon until 2027, even with the potential opening of the #StraitOfHormuz.
Trump claimed the prices will fall “as soon as this ends,” referring to the #war with #Iran.
"Those watching the markets observed massive trades yesterday just before Trump’s announcement. Regulators are currently examining similar trades from one of Trump’s similar announcements last month.”

“And, just like that, President Donald J. Trump’s triumphant boasting that the Strait of Hormuz had been permanently reopened has unraveled in less than 24 hours. …
Once again, Trump’s announcement of the opening of the strait seemed timed to give the markets a bounce before the weekend."

Video shows ships turning away from the Strait of Hormuz as confusion persists over whether sea lane is really open
The Strait of Hormuz remained effectively closed despite Iran's declaration Friday that it is open, maritime freight and oil analysts told CNBC.Spencer Kimball (CNBC)
Don’t believe the hype
#Trump and #Iran say the #StraitOfHormuz is now fully open, but #US naval #blockade will stay
Whoa
#Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International #Energy Agency said Thursday in an AP interview, warning of flight cancellations “soon” if #oil supplies remain blocked by the #IranWar.
IEA Exec Dir Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of “the largest #EnergyCrisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, #gas & other vital supplies through the #StraitOfHormuz.
#Iran Threatens Retaliation Over #US #Blockade
Iran’s armed forces said they would attempt to expand their influence over sea lanes beyond the #StraitOfHormuz if the US military continued to block Iranian shipping.

Marketwatch say today's drop in oil prices is speculation on a peace treaty.
It's certainly not a reaction to conditions on the water, which are unclear at best (the US say they blocked all Iranian-bound ships through the Strait, tracking agencies tracked four Iranian ships making it through, etc).
The IEA have a paper out projecting demand destruction of around 700,000 bbd in oil consumption this year vs projections, turning an expected growth in consumption to a small actual decline, which I consider good news. That's price- and availability-dependent, but some is baked in already.
It _feels_ like traders are convincing themselves this'll blow over soon. Whether they're right, well - we'll see.

"The US president, Donald Trump, said the US Navy would immediately start blockading the strait of Hormuz and would also interdict every vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran.
In a lengthy Truth Social post, he said the US is going to start 'BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.'"
