Those Iranians and their trading partners had best be careful what they wish for. We might get a wild hair on our...and stuff the Strait of Hormuz for them along with every other land and sea oil shipping route on the planet.

Good catch! The whole situation is about oil shipments. The war in Yemen, sabotage in the Straits and in the Red Sea. The goal is to cut off all Sauidi oil from both sides...making the Yanbu pipeline worthless

this was not a strategic attack.
therefore, it was probably by Iran and its clowns.

“... it was probably by Iran and its clowns.”

Never trust that it was a complicated plan when it can be easily attributed to stupidity and carelessness.

Since there are sanctions in place, it would make sense that an Iranian oil tanker might be flying a flag from another country.

It’s a start. Now rubblize iran’s entire military and infrastructure and don’t let them rebuild until all the mullahs are hanging from lamp posts.

Who cares? The market doesn’t seem to care. I guess we CAN drill our way out of this. ;-)
