Not much information on this Reuters article but Gulfnews states:
>**The mechanics:** Iranian oil already loaded onto tankers (“on the water” / floating storage) has been effectively stranded or heavily discounted due to long-standing US sanctions.
>Temporarily lifting those sanctions on this specific ~140 million barrels (not new production) would let it flow freely into global markets.
>**The intent:** This instantly adds supply equivalent to 10–14 days of the shortfall caused by disruptions in the Gulf (e.g., Strait of Hormuz issues from the conflict).
>**In short:** It’s a quick, low-cost way to flood the market and drive prices down without immediately draining US reserves.
The POS in the US has no cohesive plan and is again trying to find a way to chicken out because the gas prices are now soaring because of their bs.
Fuck the Iranian regiment but also fuck Trump and his US government cronies!

so we went from end of sanction in exchange for nuclear oversight (obama) to ending sanctions and zero oversight.
art of the deal.

It’s wild. Bombing the place and then letting them sell the oil stuck on ships anyway. What even is this timeline.

Now he’s trying to wipe his hands of the mess and leave it to nato to police the straight so he can blame everything on them

Another example of how energy policy and geopolitics remain closely intertwined.

Wait so we are at war with Iran. And we have attacked Kharg island wheee they export virtually all their oil from. But now we’re allowing them to sell and deliver oil ?
Seriously what the fuck kind of strategy is this ?
This situation means to me that we just lost the war. Is there any other take I’m missing ?

Let me get this straight.
So US bombs Iran, lifts sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil, which they then sell and use money to fund their wars?
I really don’t understand this world anymore

The most incompetent administration the U.S has ever had.

Even if they allow it, what’s stopping the US from suddenly seizing all the ships once its out of the strait and in the Indian Ocean? Iran really can’t trust anything from the US anymore.

So spending $1bn/day at war but allowing them to profit off of their exports? Makes no sense.

Whoever is writing the plot for this universe is now just trying to see how much can they push it until a French Revolution thingie happens.
And we got the universe with the crappiest writer that ran out of ideas.

If the US backs down now, Iran will make a mad dash for nukes.
If the US doesn’t back down now, they will need to have boots on the ground to move a step up the escalation ladder and possibly change things.
There are only bad options remaining for the US from here.
rexspook on
This feels like conceding defeat to Iran
teebird_phreak on
So now we are helping Iran at the same time at war with them? Fucking absolute amateurs running this country. They are flailing and have had to resort to this now!
Moist-Fortune6277 on
so US went to Iran and made things even worse?
No-Incident-9226 on
