"Before the war between Iran and the US and Israel began, an average of about 20 million barrels of oil passed through that stretch of sea daily. That is about 20 percent of what we consume worldwide on a daily basis. Now, around 2 million barrels still pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily, estimates data company Kpler.
...

The ships passing through primarily transport Iranian oil. Sometimes Iran also appears to grant permission for ships carrying oil or gas from other Gulf states. "We see that there are consultations with countries such as Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, and India to arrange the passage of some ships."
...

An example is the Pakistani oil tanker Karachi. It had picked up oil in the United Arab Emirates, sailed close to Iran a few days ago, and is arriving in Pakistan today.
...

No one knows how long Iran will continue to impede the transit of oil. "But if this situation continues for months, oil prices will rise much further and a global oil shortage will develop," says Das."

"Iran strikes back with attack on 'gas capital of the world' in Qatar: "The damage is extensive

The Qatari authorities have confirmed the fire in Ras Laffan. Qatar reportedly intercepted the four incoming missiles, but falling debris from one of those missiles is believed to have caused the large fire. "Civilian teams are working hard to get the fire under control," responds the Ministry of Defence.
...

A major fire is raging in Ras Laffan, Qatar, at the industrial complex known as the "gas capital of the world." This is a collection of facilities where Qatar produces and exports the majority of its liquefied natural gas (LNG), a key source for the global energy supply.

According to reports, the fire stems from attacks and threats from Iran, which aims to strike all energy infrastructure in the Gulf region in response to earlier bombardments of Iranian gas fields. Evacuation warnings have been issued for multiple installations, including those in Qatar.

Qatar is one of the world's largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, and a prolonged disruption or damage could have major consequences for energy prices, gas supplies in Europe, and the global market."

"The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy, Alireza Tangsiri, has reacted strongly to the recent Israeli attacks on energy infrastructure in southern Iran.

According to him, oil installations linked to the United States are henceforth just as legitimate targets as American military bases. He warned that those installations could be attacked "with full force".

"With the assassination of Ali Larijani, Iran loses one of the most influential figures within the political and security apparatus.

Larijani was a central player in the strategic decision-making process of the Islamic Republic ... sat for years at the table where decisions were made regarding war, diplomacy, and national security. ... He connected various centers of power: the security services, the political elite, and diplomatic channels to foreign countries.
...

Eliminating leaders does not automatically mean that the system collapses. Iran functions less as a rigid hierarchical state and more as a network of institutions and centers of power. The Revolutionary Guard, the powerful military organization that also controls large parts of the economy, is a linchpin in this network.

"You can disrupt such a network, but not simply decapitate it," says Krieg. "The Revolutionary Guard is not just an army, but a system deeply rooted in the state and society."

Just as in the Greek myth of the Hydra, organizations can put forward new leaders after eliminating them. Networks adapt, new figures take over tasks, and the system can reorganize itself, often even more radically than before.
...

"Even if the regime were to collapse, which I do not consider likely, a huge power vacuum would emerge ... "unclear how that would make Israel, the region, or the United States safer." ... "The state is designed to regenerate itself."
...

The new generation of leaders is now growing up in the context of the current war. "Those leaders are shaped by this conflict," says Harrison. "That can result in much tougher and less predictable leadership."

"US Vice President JD Vance has made a surprising Iran war admission. He has acknowledged the US “has a problem” with petrol prices and Americans were “hurting” at the pump, even as his boss the president has downplayed concerns.

The world’s largest gas field, in Iran, was hit on Wednesday. A furious Iran has now declared “full scale economic war” and have told staff to evacuate five oil and gas fields across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar."

"Qatar’s foreign ministry has ordered Iran’s military and security attaches along with their staff to leave the country within 24 hours.

“Both the military attache and the security attache in the embassy, in addition to those working in the two attache offices, persona non grata, and requests that they leave the state’s territories within a maximum period of 24 hours,” the ministry wrteo on social media post.

It comes after Iran attacked its massive Ras Laffan natural gas facility, causing “extensive damage” on Wednesday."

"Israel has carried out airstrikes on gas infrastructure in Iran for the first time in the war. The target was the South Pars gas field on the Persian Gulf, the largest gas field in the world. In retaliation, Iran struck an industrial gas complex in Qatar with a missile.
...

According to news site Axios, the attack was coordinated with the US, but American bombers did not participate.

When Israel had bombed Iranian oil refineries earlier in the war, anonymous sources spoke of disagreement between the two military allies. Actions like this would turn Iranian civilians against Israel and the US."

"Despite its losses,
Iran still maintains a dispersed military infrastructure:
underground missile bases,
a fleet of fast naval vessels,
and a network of militias operating regionally.

This is known as a patchwork defense,
with each region waging a separate defensive war against Israel and the United States.

'Mosaic' is a distributed security system in which various units
—regular troops, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and regional militias—
operate in parallel and partially independently.

Each of these structures addresses a specific area or type of threat,
making it difficult for an adversary to single-handedly attack the central command.

This 'mosaic' system ensures the state remains resilient to attacks
even if individual commanders are eliminated."

Trump’s failed strong-arming of allies on Iran shows that pressure is losing its effect

"We’ve long had your back, now it’s our turn. That is how the famously transactional U.S. President Donald Trump is framing his demands that allies help him with the Iran war. He wants to call in IOUs for decades of U.S. security guarantees.

The string of refusals indicates his stock of European goodwill is low. He has put allies through the wringer since returning to the White House, bullying them over tariffs, Greenland and other issues, and disparaging the sacrifices their soldiers made alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Now he’s demanding — not just requesting — that they send warships to help the U.S. unblock the Strait of Hormuz ... Britain is flat-out refusing ... France says the fighting would have to die down first ... China is ignoring Trump’s call."

Trump administration considers deploying thousands of troops to Iran, sources say

"U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is considering deploying thousands of U.S. troops to reinforce its operation in the Middle East, as the U.S. military prepares for possible next steps in its campaign against Iran, said a U.S. official and three people familiar with the matter.

The deployments could help provide Trump with additional options. Those options include securing safe passage for oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, but securing the Strait could also mean deploying U.S. troops to Iran’s shoreline.
...

Any use of U.S. ground troops – even for a limited mission – could pose significant political risks for Trump.
...

For years, Trump has railed against his predecessors for getting involved in conflicts and has vowed to keep the United States out of foreign wars."
