Let us hope it tracks into southern Iran. It would be bad if it did take that NW track into the Persian Gulf. Could loss some grounded oil tankers that simply cannot moore in deeper water (main channel area). But I would assume our fleet will be nimble enough to make proper course corrections to keep our ships in the deepest parts of the main channel if worst came along.
Something no one has yet addressed, is how the bottom will look after the storm. A lot of sand could shift about and perhaps knock off a few fantoms in critical channel areas, in the narrower parts of the straight.

"...and perhaps knock off a few fantoms..."Would that be the ghosts of the Iranians from that plane we "accidently" shot down during "Gulf War I"???

But it may be losing strength. One of the latest comments on StormVista:
"Gonu starting to spin down a fair bit. I would imagine it won't have hurricane strength when it strikes land".
And it may miss the gulf and strait altogether.
