#Geothermal energy: Low-carbon alternative, but not without risks. A new study by @TrendAsia_Org explores the @WorldBankGroup's role in funding the geothermal boom in Indonesia, and raises questions on scale, ownership and financing models. We unpack it below 🧵 #WBGmeetings

Iran spent $2 billion building a door nobody was watching. It leads to the only Iranian port that does not require transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The Goreh-Jask pipeline runs 1,100 kilometers from Bushehr province to the Kooh Mobarak terminal at Bandar-e Jask on the Gulf of Oman. A 42-inch buried line with five pumping stations. Construction began June 25, 2020 under maximum-pressure sanctions, built entirely by NIOC with zero foreign contractors because no foreign company would touch it. Inaugurated July 22, 2021. Design capacity: one million barrels per day. Conceived for a single purpose: export Iranian crude without touching Hormuz. That purpose arrived on February 28, 2026. But the door is only half open. This is the detail that separates the viral narrative from the verified reality. Only 10 of 20 planned storage tanks at Kooh Mobarak are complete. Total onsite storage: 5.42 million barrels, a record reached in March as Iran pre-positioned crude. There is one single-buoy mooring. One. A VLCC takes up to 10 days to load. Effective throughput is 300,000 barrels per day, not the one million viral accounts are circulating. Kharg Island inside the Gulf handles 90 percent of exports. Jask handles the rest. The $2 billion insurance policy is half-built and operating at 30 percent capacity. And it is still the most strategically important piece of oil infrastructure Iran possesses right now. Jask sits 95 miles east of the Strait of Hormuz. A tanker loading here sails south into the Arabian Sea toward China without entering the strait, without passing through the mined corridor, without encountering the toll system, without transiting the waterway where three carrier strike groups are positioned. Crude goes from pipe to tanker to ocean to China in a single movement that bypasses every chokepoint the war created. CENTCOM’s blockade explicitly covers “all Iranian ports,” including Jask. But enforcing at a port 95 miles east of the strait stretches naval enforcement across the open Gulf of Oman, 340 kilometers wide, rather than the 21-mile strait. The geometry favors the defender. In the five days before the blockade, five VLCCs loaded at Jask per Kpler and Vortexa. The IRGC, which maintains naval security at the terminal, has been accelerating loadings since March. The same IRGC running the Bitcoin toll in the strait controls the physical bypass that avoids it. Both revenue streams feed the same treasury. Both keep crude flowing while the 13-day storage clock ticks toward the shutdown that kills Iran’s wells permanently. And Jask is not only an oil terminal. A 2022 UN report documented the IRGC’s use of Jask as a weapons-smuggling hub to arm the Houthis. The same port that bypasses Hormuz for crude also bypasses the Red Sea for arms. The infrastructure is dual-use by design. Iran built a billion-dollar pipeline for the day the strait closed. The day came. The pipeline works. But it works at 300,000 barrels per day through one mooring buoy with half its tanks, in waters the Abraham Lincoln patrols at 200 kilometers. The insurance policy is real. It is also insufficient. The distance between 300,000 actual and one million designed, between ten tanks completed and twenty planned, between one buoy and the fleet that needs to load, is where the next phase of this war will be fought. Iran bet $2 billion on a door out of the strait. The door is open. It is not wide enough. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

CNN: "[At least 18] Chinese-financed infrastructure that have been targeted or are deemed at risk of being targeted in the region total some $6.5 billion, according to a recent analysis by AidData, a research lab at William & Mary University in Virginia. "Those facilities include ports, power and desalination plants, refineries and petrochemical operations, and airport infrastructure across Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Israel – showing the extent of China’s financial exposure. Some figures reflect AidData-estimated lender shares in syndicated loans, rather than exact financing exposure, the analysts noted." edition.cnn.com/2026/04/14/chi…

Say hello to Rich Starry.. 1- Chinese tanker with Chinese crew 2- The tanker and the company that owned it are sanctioned by the US for dealing with Iran in the past. 3- It is carrying methanol from the UAE. The shipment has nothing to do with Iran but seems to use the iranian route This is a reminder that Hormuz is not only about oil and gas, it is about several other things including methanol Map form @Kpler

Iran appears far from cornered despite US threats to choke its oil revenues, as it quietly built a massive offshore buffer that could outlast a blockade, the Wall Street Journal reported. Data from Vortexa found that Iran has shipped 1.84 million barrels a day last month, with the number o those exported during February even higher at 2.15 million barrels a day. This has pushed Iran's average exports shipments over the last two months 26% above 2025 levels. With around 160 million barrels already floating outside the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran can continue supplying its buyers, such as China, for weeks or even months. However, WSJ noted that in theory, Iran can keep its customers supplied until the middle of July, based on the 1.8 million barrels a day of Iranian oil that China imports. While US President Donald Trump bets that cutting oil flows will force Iran into concessions at the negotiating table, Iran is wagering the opposite; that it can endure longer than global markets can absorb the shock.
