Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Altair]

Hostage taking works up to the point when the hostages aren’t worth as much as getting rid of the hostage takers(s).

Considering nobody is taking out the hostage takers and are rumored to be paying the hostage takers hundreds of billions, I'm going to say that hasn't happened.

As could have been predicted since february.

This was a giant waste of everyones time and wallets.

Well, not everyone’s time.

The IAEA inspectors don’t have to worry about going back to Iran like they had to under Obama’s oppressive regime.

Trump’s a trusting fellow, so no inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities is required. He trusts the Iranian’s to keep their word that they won’t enrich more than the…checks math, 440 - 300 =140…140kg more than what Obama-pression *restricted Iran to back in 2015.

I cannot wait for those who said Obama was too soft on Iran to spin this into a resounding victory.

So much winning.

Sad, because the real losers will be the Iranian people, Lebanese civilians, and the average taxpayer.

The Art of the Non-Deal

With this ceasefire, Trump has capitulated to Iran.

Run to the gas station. This won’t last long.

Gas went down a penny here. Big whoop.

Seems the gas stations don't believe Trump either.

Gas has been erratic here.

From 4.25 to 5.78 in the space on 8 miles for a Gallon of Premium.

It seems possibly Kharg may have been under serious consideration.

82nd Airborne Deployment to Israel Went Unannounced

A leaked deployment order shows that troops went to Israel, a detail omitted from Pentagon announcements about a CENTCOM deployment.

I wonder if the increasing number of Hezbollah drone videos out of Israel in the pst month adjusted thinking on that?

Was briefly $1.37 here today at the Co-op.

Forty Days Before the First Barrel Moves​

Five Western maritime security sources, cited by STL.News and investingLive on June 15, estimated that mine clearance operations would take 40 to 50 days before commercial confidence returned. A Kpler Middle East analyst offered a “more conservative” assessment — six months for a comprehensive sweep. Both estimates assume cooperative conditions. The sources did not define what cooperative conditions would look like, because no precedent exists for the mining state conducting its own clearance under a bilateral agreement with the state that bombed it.

The Pentagon’s classified estimate, shared with the House Armed Services Committee in April, projected up to six months with three dedicated vessels already in the region. Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell publicly denied the figure, calling it “dishonest journalism” based on “cherry-picked” information from a closed-door briefing. The denial did not include an alternative timeline. No US official has offered a public estimate for when commercial shipping can safely resume.

Hormuz Mine Clearance Will Take Months After Iran Deal

Hormuz mine clearance will take 40 days to 6 months, leaving Saudi Arabia's 5.5M bpd exports stranded. At $83/bbl vs $108 breakeven, the daily cost is $194M.

Interesting comparison. We're paying CAD 1.63 per litre which equates to USD 4.41 per US gallon. The worst we had here was CAD 1.75.

Jesus, this makes the JCPOA look tough and effective.

I’m all in favour of liberating Iran, but leadership matters.
