Amy progress is good, but yeah they sure make it sound more impressive than it is. 1 person on a cargo ship was killed in the past week from an Iranian attack. So it is not over yet by any stretch and a few drones could absolutely shut down traffic again.

I wonder what type of bonuses they are giving these crew members for hazard duty…I imagine many would not want to take the risk unless the pay was life changing (whatever than means given their country of origin).

Please double check your Math, Lucas.

The average barrels per day through the straight in 2025 was ~20 million. It was reported that over 16 million passed through the straight Yesterday. Another 4 million barrels passed through the Saudi pipeline from Bahrain to the red Sea.

I’m going to need to see a non biased source on the scrubby.

Per the linked article there is a major discrepancy between US government estimates and industry estimates used by the financial and shipping communities. Until proven otherwise I will believe the financial community over a government source - especially a government that lies as much as the Trump admin.

Is the Trump admin lying?

Gotta credible link for this claim? It literally says right in the article in op that flow out of the strait is still only at 20% of pre war traffic. Did you even bother to read it? Here, let me highlight it for you Harvard man.

The surge brings total traffic along the passage route to about 20% of pre-war levels, through which roughly 20% of the world’s seaborne oil flowed in peacetime.
