So any day we’ll see the contracts going out to excavate and dispose of the uranium.

From the article:

According to maritime intelligence platform Signal, the number of traceable daily voyages entering and leaving the Gulf increased from just one or two ships during most of the conflict to eight vessels by July 1, based on a seven-day moving average.

But the number of ships moving through with their transponders off is believed to be considerably higher. One study estimated that as many as 40 ships a day transited the strait over the past week.

Before the 2026 Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz typically saw 120 to 140 vessel transits per day, with some sources citing an average of 138 crossings daily.

https://www.vesselfinder.com/ still looks pretty clogged up to me.

of course 4X1 equals 4 so to quadruple one ship means now there are 4?

I never said Trump chickened out...he miscalculated though and thought Iran would be another Venezuela. When he learned it wasn’t, he wanted to get out and get out quick. And yes Iran did win if the plan as we’ve been told is the actual plan.

Would have been better never to have done anything or at least wait until AFTER the midterms.

I heard that Loyds of London had the insurance contracts of all ships that passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Once they stopped insurance and Iran vowed violence, Trump got together with some very rich people here in America to create a new insurance company. Now we insure the boats passing through. This takes Billions out of the pocket of the EU every month. The EU oligarchy is about to fall. President Trump has war gamed everything including waiting for the Kurds to rise up on the edges of Iran. Freedom is at hand for the Iranian people. It just takes time. Everyone is trashing President Trump about the peace talks. It’s all strategic. Trump has this. Just be patient.

Yay Trump! This is important because we need to know that the Iran war is not making the economy bad. After the first week of November, they can take out the top layers of Iran’s government again.

LOL and the propaganda channel Newsmax thinks this is some kind of victory? 8 vessels a day is a joke.

I don’t know. In my town all the different gas stations are advertising regular at $3.39/gal. That’s not competition, thats collusion.
