It’s completely nonempirical. It’s antithetical to the evidence.
Here we are at 60 days, and Iran is losing about $500 million in input per day.
Just because 9 canoes pass thru the blockade for every tanker which is stopped or disabled does not mean Sanctioned Iran Oil is traversing the oceans. I have not heard of boats being targeted unless they carry drugs, weapons, or oil.
Experts claim that wells cannot be "slowed down" - they can only be stopped, which is permanent. And that is the point.
Quote:I had not heard that storage tanks full of oil had been targeted. Yet. Maybe some destroyed via collateral. Targeting newly built tanks, empty of oil? Sounds like a good target.Quote:
It’s running out of storage space in a week or two for its daily output of oil, at which point they either have to stop pumping or they’re going to have—if they don’t stop pumping—their wells will collapse.
They either have to stop pumping, or they have to build, as fast as they can, storage facilities, which will be known to us and we can take out.
There's another inconsistency between what this article says v what Trump admin says. This article assumes that we destroyed Iran's storage facilities and have a commitment to destroy any newly built ones. At the same time, Trump admin claims that Iran is just days away from "tank tops", implying that Iran still has storage facilities. So, which is it? Have we destroyed Iran's storage tanks? Do we even have the capacity to? Or are enough of them too far inland and out of reach of our bombers? Wouldn't it be better to use actual ... yanno ... numbers, like numbers of tanks, spare capacity, etc instead of just making up stuff?
Iran already had tanks which were regularly filled, and emptied. Now they are all topping off, without getting emptied.
Where is the inconsistency?
Quote:Really? What is the size of their slaves or mercenary Forces?Quote:. This is a big stumbling block. I know Trump keeps repeating "Their military is destroyed" but in reality Iran still retains the capacity to do the three things that really matter:
So, they’re at the brink economically. They have no military ability.
hold the Straits,
destroy all remaining US bases, and destroy critical infrastructure in Israel and the Gulf States
defend against a "boots on the ground" invasion.

The course of the war, how it ends, is entirely in the hands of the United States. It depends on whether you want an unconditional surrender and you want to pay an extra price—maybe another month or two—with economic strangulation, or you want to use air power to take out bridges, and you can do that.
What I’m getting at is it’s not a military problem like Afghanistan and Helmand Province, or the Marines having to go into Fallujah in Iraq. It’s entirely a political problem. It’s not a military problem. The military problem has been solved. It’s just a question of hoNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Global marine traffic obsevers aren't tracking shrimp boats. They're tracking tankers and LNG vessels and cargo ships.

How Choke Valves Manage Wellhead Pressure
by Amy SerbuDecember 16, 2025
Choke valves are essential for controlling wellhead pressure in oil and gas wells. They regulate fluid flow by creating a controlled pressure drop, ensuring safety and efficiency for downstream equipment like pipelines and separators. Here’s what you need to know:
•Purpose: They manage high reservoir pressures, prevent equipment damage, and stabilize production rates.
•How They Work: Fluids pass through a restricted orifice, dropping pressure while maintaining controlled flow.
•Types: Fixed chokes have a set orifice size, while adjustable chokes allow for real-time flow adjustments.

In fact, it's beneficial for long term production to choke back wells. Rapid oil flow thru strata displaces rock grains, clogging rock formations and well casings.
