Three more ships struck in the Persian Gulf as Iran warns of oil prices hitting $200​

Three more foreign ships were struck in the Persian Gulf overnight, authorities said, as attacks intensify on vessels sailing through or near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

The latest incidents come after three separate vessels sustained damage in Gulf waters on Wednesday and as Iran warns oil prices could climb to $200 a barrel.

A container ship was struck by an unknown projectile about 35 nautical miles north of Jebel Ali, a major port city near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) center said on Thursday. The incident caused a small fire onboard, and all crew were reported to be safe.

Earlier, two foreign oil tankers were left ablaze in Iraqi waters after having been struck near the port Umm Qasr, near the city of Basra.

The latest incidents in or near the Strait of Hormuz come shortly after Iran warned the world to prepare for $200 oil prices.

Air power, both missile strikes and bombing from planes, is a devastating weapon. Especially now with the guided munitions we possess. But there are limits to what air power can achieve.

There has been reporting suggesting the convicted criminal who raped E. Jean Carroll is considering sending US troops in to Iran to take their enriched uranium. Though the goals of the war have shifted so many times no one knows what the regime may do next.

At this moment the question for the world's economies rests on Iran's control of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. We've all heard 20% of the world's oil passes through it. Until Iran's blockade ends oil will continue to go higher. Perhaps much higher.

The man who stole money from a charity has threatened to bomb Iran in to oblivion unless it allows oil tankers and cargo ships through the strait. I'm not sure they are in the mood to listen.

Strikes on Iran Damage Cultural Heritage Sites, Infuriating Iranians​

Revered cultural icons that have withstood the upheavals of history are being hit hard in the war being waged by Israel and the United States.

Will this leave the man who had an adulterous, sexual affair with a porn star feeling he has no other option but to send troops in to Iran, not to get the uranium but to stop the blockade? What are the implications for the long term control of the strait? Pandora's box is open. What comes next may be worse than it is now. I sincerely hope it isn't.

How many times, over the last four or five decades, have we had warnings about what would happen if that area were shut down?

This is what happens when you have craven sycophants, instead of experienced professionals, counseling a profoundly ignorant President.

Colbert said he would pay $15/ gallon for gas in 2022.

Did OP blast him?

The man who said, "I can live with it" when informed a report had assigned blame for bombing a school on the US military, killing 175 people including girls and teachers, doesn't seem very concerned about what's happening.

i stopped reading here. Clearly you are not a serious person with anything serious to say, so...

I will say, that I am now more in support of this war, then I was before I started reading your shit talk.

I hope that we get a massive oil spill, if so, i will name it the BERG-SPILL.

Where was Raisin' Caine in all this I wonder? Or was he too chosen because he sees his job as carrying out every stupendously short sighted order given by the guy with a dead squirrel on his head rather than question the wisdom of the order?

That person has certifiable TDS.

It is incredible.

No contructive discouse….JUST TRUUUUUUUMP!

I wonder how they occupied their time prior to 2016.

I can't blame trump devotees who choose to shut out reality. After all, this spectacularly failed government being in power is collectively their fault.

Can you give examples of when invasion and regime change happened with good results?

Oddball, lol while you have the insight of a child don't use dogs to express yourself. Most are smarter than you as it is. Use a rock as that better fits your person and lack of thought. Have a great day if that is possible in your world.

Iran is pursuing a nuclear bomb and threatening ships.

Why cant they just sell oil peacefully?

 

[berg80]

Part of the reason sending in troops is my biggest fear is the guy who paid hush money to Stormy to keep her from influencing the 2016 election has called soldiers who were killed in the line of duty, "chumps and losers." So how much regard for their lives could be possibly have?

 

[ColonelAngus]

You lefties do not care about pedophilia and misogyny.

You cannot even PRETEND to care about the PEDOPHILIA AND MISOGYNY commited by Islamic Theocracies.

Such BLARINGLY OVERTLY OBVIOUS FRAUDS.

Is there a solution to the blockade?

 

[berg80]

Iraq and Oman closed oil terminals on Thursday after two tankers were attacked and left burning off Iraq’s coast, as the International Energy Agency warned that the war in the Middle East had caused “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.”

Oil prices initially surged despite a coordinated effort by the United States and other major economies to calm markets by pledging on Wednesday to release 400 million barrels of oil from their emergency reserves.

Fighting has displaced up to 3.2 million people inside Iran, the United Nations refugee agency said on Thursday, as the human toll of the conflict rose. Almost 2,000 people have been killed since the start of the U.S.-Israeli assault, mostly in Iran. The Israeli military said that it had launched a new wave of strikes in the country, targeting government infrastructure.

Why was trump dancing on stage yesterday?

Is there a solution to the blockade?

1. End the blockade or we destroy your powerplants
2. End the blockade or we destroy your desalinization plants (unless they're dead w/o power)
3. End the blockade or we destroy your oil infrastructure

Iran would cease to function after any of those options

Bombing more things is an option we have. My concern is it will only make Iran's leadership more intransigent.

True, but incomplete.

This is what happens when you allow Zionist billionaires, whose allegiance is to a crazed foreign nation bent on world domination, control of our government and military.
