🚨 THE LAST NEUTRAL LINE: If Oman is pulled in, the entire region changes For decades, Oman has been the quiet bridge in the Middle East — the country that talks to everyone when nobody else can. Iran knows this. The Gulf states know this. The West knows this....

🚨 BREAKING: IRAN ATTACKS OMAN — EVEN NEUTRAL NATIONS NOW UNDER FIRE This is a dangerous new phase. Oman has long been one of the only countries trusted by ALL sides — a mediator between Iran and the United States, a bridge for diplomacy, a neutral actor in a volatile region. Now even Oman is being hit. Reports indicate strikes near Omani territory and maritime targets in the Strait of Hormuz — a signal that the conflict is expanding beyond traditional battle lines. When a regime begins striking neutral states… it means escalation is no longer contained. The Middle East is moving toward a wider war scenario. Stand by.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇴🇲 Oman is making its move. The Sultan of Oman has signed an executive decree to expand trade and deepen economic cooperation with Iran — a major signal that Muscat is betting on closer ties with Tehran despite growing regional pressure. As the Middle East shifts, Oman appears determined to strengthen its partnership with Iran rather than distance itself. The balance of power in the Gulf may be changing faster than many expected.

Strait of Hormuz over the last 48 hours: tanker attacks continue Iran's demands for opening the Strait of Hormuz are a nonstarter for the US. As I covered over the weekend, Iran has now added Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq along with Lebanon for a complete ceasefire as a condition. In addition, it also wants compensation for the war damages and the MOU violation. On the shipping front, Oman lane transits continue, but here's the catch. ADNOC (UAE) ships are being attacked with 4 of them getting hit last week and another possible attack today. ADNOC's rescue boat was sent out, but no other confirmation on the attack has been announced so far. What is interesting is this. Iraqi crude is getting through the Oman lane. Prosperity tankers carrying Iraqi crude have not been hit. Why? Simple. In the past, Iran has exported some of its oil through Iraq to evade sanctions. This is one of the main reasons why we are not seeing all the tankers get hit through the Oman lane. But it seems clear from the recent escalation patterns that whatever secret deal Iran had with UAE is all but over. Video from MarineTraffic.

JUST IN: Iran just bombed the only country willing to broker its peace. Drones struck the Port of Salalah in Oman on 11th March, hitting fuel storage tanks at the MINA Petroleum Facility. Fires ignited. Then spread. As of tonight, the blaze has consumed most if not all oil tanks at the facility, burning into the darkness in a port that was not a military target, not an ally of the United States or Israel, but the neutral mediator that hosted the last diplomatic channel between Washington and Tehran as recently as February 2026. Oman brokered the secret talks that led to the 2013 JCPOA framework. Oman hosted the February 2026 nuclear discussions that were the final diplomatic contact before 28 February. When every other Gulf state chose sides, Oman chose neutrality. When Iran needed a phone line to Washington, Oman was the phone. That phone is now on fire. Iran’s response was extraordinary. President Pezeshkian called Oman’s Sultan and said the incident would be “investigated.” Iran’s military denied launching attacks on Oman, calling the suggestion a “false flag.” But the drone signature matches IRGC patterns. The fires are real. The fuel tanks are burning. And no other actor in the region has the capability, the reach, or the motive to strike Salalah with the drone systems that hit it. This is the Mosaic Doctrine consuming its own creator’s diplomacy. The 31 autonomous IRGC provincial commands that operate without central authorisation do not consult Tehran’s Foreign Ministry before launching. A commander with coastal access to the Gulf of Oman can strike Salalah without knowing or caring that President Pezeshkian needs Sultan Haitham’s phone line to survive the war. The diplomatic wing of the Iranian state needs Oman alive. The military wing just set its oil tanks on fire. Both wings operate simultaneously without coordination because the doctrine was designed to make coordination unnecessary. This is the structural impossibility nobody is modelling. Tomorrow, Larijani or Pezeshkian may call Muscat and beg forgiveness. They may ask Oman to reopen the channel to Washington. They may negotiate in good faith for a ceasefire. And while they are on the phone, an autonomous IRGC command in Hormozgan or Kerman may launch another drone at Salalah because the sealed orders from a dead Supreme Leader authorise continuous strikes on Gulf infrastructure and no living authority has the constitutional power to countermand them. Peace requires trust. Trust requires that one side can guarantee what its own forces will do. Iran cannot guarantee what 31 independent commands will do because the man who could guarantee it is dead and his successor is a cardboard cutout. Oman cannot mediate between Washington and Tehran if Tehran’s military burns Omani infrastructure while Tehran’s president apologises for it. The mediator’s credibility dies the moment the mediator’s oil tanks ignite. Salalah was the bypass. When Hormuz closed, shipping was supposed to reroute through Oman’s ports outside the Strait. When diplomacy was needed, Oman was supposed to carry the messages. When the war needed an off-ramp, Oman was supposed to build it. The IRGC just burned the bypass, silenced the messenger, and destroyed the off-ramp in a single night. Iran’s economy runs on $5,000 per capita GDP, 60% inflation, and a currency that has lost 90% of its value under sanctions. It cannot afford to lose its only friend. It just did. And the doctrine that lost it was designed to be unstoppable.

🚨 BREAKING: GLOBAL ENERGY SHOCKWAVE — IRAN STRIKES TANKER NEAR HORMUZ Alarming reports are emerging that Iran has struck an oil tanker near Oman as it attempted to enter the Strait of Hormuz — the single most critical energy choke point on Earth. If confirmed, this is not just another incident. It is a direct attack on the artery of the global economy. Nearly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through this narrow corridor. Even temporary disruption can trigger immediate market panic, insurance shutdowns, shipping paralysis, and price spikes felt across every continent within hours. This is how regional wars become global crises. The strategic message from Tehran appears unmistakable: If Iran is under attack, the world’s energy system will feel the consequences. The risk now is escalation by momentum. More strikes. More retaliation. More economic shockwaves. Shipping lanes, military forces, and financial markets are now locked into the same feedback loop. The next moves will matter enormously. Stand by.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 NEVER IN THE SAME ROOM! - Why the hell does Iran keep saying they are not negotiating with the United States when we know that they are? Imagine this: An Iranian convoy rolls out of the palace gates in Muscat, Oman. Only then does an SUV flying an American flag roll in. Same palace. Ninety minutes apart. Let me paint the picture for you. Iran keeps insisting it isn't negotiating with us, and their spokesman said it again Monday. The talks are with Oman, and "unrelated" to the United States. All Kabuki theatre. Khamenei "banned direct talks" years ago. Forbidden, he said. Because of the "countless harm." So Iran talks to Oman. Oman talks to us. We answer back through Oman. Nobody blinked. Everybody goes home a hero. So yeah Iran is talking to the United States but because of these stupid games they deny it publicly. ⬇️

🚨 STRAIT OF HORMUZ FLASHPOINT Reports are emerging that U.S. forces have struck several Iranian vessels near the port of Bandar Lengeh in southern Iran within the past few hours. Bandar Lengeh sits directly along the Strait of Hormuz — one of the most strategically critical waterways on Earth, through which a large share of the world’s oil supply passes. If confirmed, the incident would mark another major escalation in the maritime battle now unfolding across the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz has already been under severe pressure, with shipping disruptions and attacks on vessels raising fears for global energy markets. When military strikes begin targeting ships in this corridor, the consequences can ripple far beyond the region. The world’s most important energy chokepoint is now at the center of the conflict.

Breaking | After the failed attack targeting the port of Duqm, Oman, most likely Iranian drones struck oil storage tanks at the port of Salalah. At least three fuel tanks are now on fire, with thick smoke spreading across the port. The full extent of the damage is still unclear, and more tanks may have been hit. What makes this striking is the target itself. Oman has long acted as a quiet mediator between Iran and the United States, hosting indirect talks and passing messages between the two sides. Seeing Iran strike a country that has historically played this mediator role is unprecedented and shows how far the conflict is spreading across the region.

Since the war began, it has been closed and is under Iran's control. If they claim it's open, tell them to sail through it. 🔥 Bro destroyed the entire CENTCOM propaganda in seconds. 😄

This is unbelievable. 🔥 Iran’s strikes have been so precise and deadly that they have destroyed major 🇺🇸 US Navy logistics infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. 🔥 The supply problems the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing right now are a result of these strikes. The US Navy now has to rely on Diego Garcia for supplies and munitions, which is 3,500 km away from the coast of Oman. Truly, 🇮🇷 Iran has broken the backbone of the US Navy. 🔥

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours: Oman lane is active? Over the last 7 days, Kpler tracked 18 tankers exiting the Strait of Hormuz, 5 related to Iran. Average volume of 1.861 million b/d. In the video from MarineTraffic, you can see that at the beginning, there was a bulk carrier called Supra Baron that tried going through the Oman lane and then turning around. A few vessels took the Iran lane shortly after. But more interestingly, as I'm writing this post, there are two tankers that are about to go through the Oman lane: Rotterdam Energy, a VLCC, and Gaslog Shanghai, an LNG tanker. Rotterdam Energy turned off its AIS about an hour ago, so it's in the process of transiting now. Is the Oman lane active again? Or will IRGC enforce control again? If IRGC makes a move, then all the bombing the US did was create temporary enforcement vacuums in place for tankers to transit. This is clearly unsustainable in the long-run. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours: TACO for the 5th time? Trump just canceled his own strike again because the Iranians are begging for a deal. Well, if you look at the video from MarineTraffic, the only visible traffic is through the Iran lane. At the end of the video, you will see the LNG tanker, Gaslog Shanghai, show up as it was reported that the tanker was abandoned. Rotterdam Energy made it through. Lucia A, a Suezmax, made it through at the end of the video using the Oman lane. There are transits happening, but they're not enough to change the oil math. In my view, unless the US is willing to give Iran complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, there's no deal. That's been the case since the MOU, and it's still the case today. Now that the Bab al-Mandeb card has been played, I think the next step in escalation is Fujairah. I've been saying that's the last card the Iranians could play, and they've been waiting. No one knows when, but it appears inevitable if they want to force even more concessions from the US.

❗️ War in the Middle East could lead to the collapse of the global economy - ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has almost completely stopped. ◾️ Over the past 24 hours, only two commercial vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and not a single oil tanker, the Joint Maritime Information Center said. ◾️ This is a key energy artery of the world: normally, about 20% of all oil passes through it. If tanker traffic stops, the world could lose up to 15-20 million barrels per day. ◾️ In the event of a protracted crisis, oil prices could soar to $120-150 per barrel, leading to higher fuel prices, inflation, a decline in production, and the risk of a global recession. ◾️ Europe and Asia, which are critically dependent on oil from the Persian Gulf, are already feeling the biggest impact. ◾️ Fuel flows from the Middle East have fallen by about 90%, and in Singapore, bunker fuel prices have already risen by more than 40%. In fact, the energy crisis has already begun in Asia. ◾️ More and more experts are pointing out that the Strait of Hormuz is blocked not only by war but also by insurance companies that have canceled insurance for global ocean commercial tonnage due to military risks in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and all Iranian territorial waters. 📹: Ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours.

Strait of Hormuz over the last 24 hours: Escalation continues. The US and Iran continue to bomb each other, but no tankers have been attacked, at least not any that have been publicly reported. Mainstream media in the past 48 hours really started to pick up on the notion that the oil shuttling service through the Oman lane is slowing down. Based on satellite data, it is not completely dead yet, but how much are the shipowners willing to risk it? Well, they are having a hard time getting crew members to agree, and a few have already reported that the captains have refused transit. In the meantime, the Iran lane is getting all the traffic with AIS turned on. No visible tanker transits through the Oman lane, as expected. I have included the video from MarineTraffic.

🇲🇾🇨🇳 Hormuz gets all the attention, but the Strait of Malacca is the one that keeps Beijing up at night. It's the world's busiest maritime chokepoint, narrowing to just 1.7 miles at its tightest point. In the first half of 2025 alone, 23.2 million barrels of oil per day passed through it. That's more than Hormuz. Around 75% of China's seaborne crude imports flow through it from the Middle East and Africa. The Iran war has forced governments across Asia to think seriously about what happens if Malacca faces the same fate as Hormuz. Indonesia's finance minister floated the idea of tolls this week before walking it back. Singapore has already assured both the U.S. and China that passage is guaranteed and it won't participate in any effort to block it. The difference between Hormuz and Malacca is that 4 countries share the strait and all of them have a strategic interest in keeping it open. That makes it harder to close, but also harder to control. China is watching what the U.S. did to Iran's economy through a single chokepoint. It has one of its own that it can't protect alone. Source: Reuters

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇲 The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has announced the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Within this operation, missiles were launched toward two vessels violating the blockade. At the same time, Iran has begun large-scale mining of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a very serious and dangerous escalation. By declaring the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and initiating mining operations, Iran is directly threatening one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes. Such actions could lead to a sharp rise in global oil prices and risk drawing in more international actors. The situation in the region has reached a critical and highly volatile point.
