WSJ: Gulf States may impose oil embargo through Strait while Iran controls it
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 10th, 2026 2:58 PM Author: Misunderstood Orange Business Firm Faggotry Longer term, Tehran might find it might not have as much time as it likes. Keeping the strait closed can damage its own exports, and Gulf states have vowed to resist its tollbooth plans. This leverage, while critical in the coming weeks and months, may fade.
Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. can still export oil via pipelines that bypass the Hormuz, with higher prices offsetting lower volumes. Refusing to ship Saudi and Emirati oil through the strait while it is under Iranian control—in a way, an informal oil embargo—would transfer the costs of this problem onto other nations, and force them to intervene, some Gulf officials calculate.
Tehran’s key partner, China, trades much more with the rich monarchies of the Gulf than with Iran—and is unlikely to sit idly as the Strait of Hormuz is closed for a prolonged period, said Meir Javedanfar, an expert on Iranian politics at Reichman University in Israel.
Other nations with influence over Iran are similarly affected, he added. “I don’t think the world is willing to live with such a change,” he said. “Resistance in the long term is going to be much greater than what Iran can withstand.”

Sadly Trump is too stupid to explain it, so he said “let them deal with it” when a smarter and more articulate person would’ve said “our allies are going to work with us to continue putting economic pressure on Iran, and won’t submit to this nonsense. So anyone who does business with them while they try to hold the global economy hostage will end up bearing all the costs, and when their desperate flailing fails the rest of the world will know who the weak cowards are and act accordingly.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5855795&forum_id=2#49809208) |
