Iranian oil revenues are surging: Estimated Iranian oil revenues are up +$25 million per day in March from the prior month, to $139 million per day. This comes as Iranian tankers are still transiting the Strait of Hormuz while most other Persian Gulf oil supply is still restricted. As a result, Iranian oil exports are exceeding the pre-war average of 2.2 million barrels per day. Furthermore, Iranian Light crude prices are trading just -$2.10 below Brent, compared to a -$10 discount before the war. Iran is also generating additional revenue by charging transit fees of up to $2 million per vessel for commercial ships crossing Hormuz. All while the US government is trying to limit the impact of the war on oil prices by temporarily lifting sanctions on a large amount of Iranian oil already on tankers at sea. Iranian oil sales are soaring.


@pati_marins64 🇮🇷🇦🇺 59 Sydney petrol stations are completely out of fuel. Over 200 without diesel. 500+ nationally with empty pumps. Australia declined to send ships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz two weeks ago. The Strait sent its regards.

It does increasingly feel like large numbers of people in US, Europe and Israel just presumed Iran would roll over because they are a brown Muslim country. A domestic industrial base? No way. Can’t be overstated how much people’s biases were shaped by how stupid this man was.


According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.
