According to a release by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), since the resumption of the U.S. blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iran, 105 vessels have been redirected by US forces.

105 redirected on paper. the sanctioned tankers still slipping through hormuz with AIS off are the ones actually worth tracking live

The operational metric to watch isn't just the 105 hulls turned around, but how London underwriters adjust war-risk hull premiums for the remaining commercial tanker traffic still trying to clear the Omani traffic separation lanes.

Thanks for making diesel 6.5 dollars a gallon

Human stupidity knows no bounds

CENTCOM PR stunts can't hide shattered US deterrence! Piracy on trade routes won't break Iran's sovereign authority. The Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf are no place for foreigners!

When over 100 vessels are being redirected, the impact goes way beyond the ships themselves. Global trade feels it quickly.

Where do these ships end up going instead? Redirected cargo has to land somewhere, and that trail probably says more than the total.

105 vessels have been redirected since the resumption of the blockade, and escalation on our Iran index has not followed: 5.1% lower over the last 7 days.
