#irantosetrestrictedzonenearhormuz
🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Kharg Island was hit about 550 times, and it is still loading oil.
This figure comes
from Iran’s oil minister on state television. Before the war, the island handled 90% of Iran’s crude exports, and on August 31 Trump released an AI-generated video showing it exploding into
pieces.
The blockade causes more damage than the strikes. Since mid-April, CENTCOM says it has turned away 92 commercial ships, immobilized 3, and seized 2.
Iran’s response is a restricted zone outside the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days. Any ship that enters it is added to a sanctions list.
You can measure how badly the squeeze is hurting by what Iranian officials choose to talk about.
The speaker of parliament, Qalibaf, said that the main struggle is now people’s production and livelihoods, and he reviewed currency fluctuations, inflation, and unemployment before adding that people can endure hardships, but not a government that does nothing.
The economy minister brushed aside the whole pressure campaign, saying putting Iran’s economy back on its feet is up to Tehran, not the US Treasury.
Missiles keep flying, but economic pressure could be the toughest battle for Iran.
