#1 Do you have anything up yet on the ships on fire near the straits of Hormuz?

Is it time to go to Costco to pick up another pallet of Hormuz and pita bread, or is it too late?

UK’s Ambrey says maritime incident near Strait of Hormuz not security related

By REUTERS
British maritime security firm Ambrey now says the cause of an incident 22 nautical miles east of Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates, near the Strait of Hormuz, is not security-related.

The event unfolded as tensions escalated between Israel and Iran, with both nations exchanging attacks for a fifth consecutive day following Israel’s widescale strikes on Friday aimed at preventing Tehran from building an atomic weapon.

The Strait of Hormuz, a key transitway for about a fifth of the world’s oil, lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond.

There is no immediate response to Reuters’ request for comment from the Emirati foreign ministry or the Khor Fakkan container terminal in the early hours of Tuesday.

Maritime incident reported near the Strait of Hormuz

By REUTERS
British maritime security firm Ambrey says it is aware of an incident 22 nautical miles east of Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates, near the Strait of Hormuz, as Israel and Iran attack each other for a fifth straight day.

The strait lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond.

Approximately one-fifth of the world’s total oil consumption passes through the strait. Between the start of 2022 and last month, roughly 17.8 million to 20.8 million barrels of crude, condensate and fuels flowed through the strait daily, according to data from Vortexa.

There was no immediate response to Reuters’s request for comment from the Emirati foreign ministry or the Khor Fakkan container terminal in the early hours of the morning.

#6 I’ve got it running in a second window, though it’s harder for me to get information visually and aurally than from reading. Different learning styles… I’m a really high functioning non-math person. Life would have been so much more profitable had my mind been suited to practical endeavours, but at least I am capable of properly appreciating those of you who are, so there’s that.

#7 The video was what I could find.

My schedule is upside down compared to everyone else and finding breaking news is hard.

#8 You’re our night shift, my dear, catching what happens before anyone else. That gives us a headstart advantage over the rest. :-)

#14 Israel just destroyed the world's final operational F-14 Tomcats.

"It belongs in a museum!"

Remember when we used to be allied with Iran? Until Jimmy Carter replaced the Shah with Ayatollah Khomeni.

Prick.
