Of course, and Iran will quietly take it like a man. Yes, they won't attempt to destroy GCC oil production and refineries at all.
They could even attack desalination plants this time. And you can bet they will take out the Azeri pipeline to Israel that supplies 40% of Israel's oil.
Pretty much all of the GCC's food supply comes via Hormuz too.
Iran's entire plan is to just take other countries hostage.
Right now the only alternative to some GCC oil is Saudi's pipeline to the Red Sea, but even that can be attacked.
I'm getting a feeling that this will be over soon, both of the parties don't want to fight war, they will go back to negotiations table and try to find the middle ground, USA can't achieve Thier goals without boots in the ground, and the Islamic regime wants to survive, suprisingly the UAE is up for fight tho, the rest of gulfs are coward's/ cucks what you find it appropriate to say, NATO countries don't want to participate in another mindless war in middle East, they are clearly out, isarel Will be forced by USA to make a deal with lebanon, and lebanon to take a harder stance against Hezbollah, iran will give up the uranium enrichment, for Pakistan it's crucial too have a confident ceasefire deal, if they don't they are ****ed, if the fight starts they will have to participate, they ain't getting any oil or gas, and the population in gilgit & balitstian will see this as betrayal, Good for us tho if that happens,
For us oil is not a problem we a various options, it's the LNG we have to take care of it, we have to secure Long term deal with other players apart from russia also, like Canada & others but don't be dependent, that will be problem if we did,
If deal happens clear loser isarel, UAE,
Winner pakistan as they don't have to fight the Iranians,
If the fight starts isarel, UAE are clear winners they have already showed that they are better at intercepting missile than other countries in the region,
Loser pakistan, China, pakistan Will see ethnic tension and China's energy supplies are getting strangled,
India - LNG crisis intensifies,
Trump has a heart of chicken, he is not a brave leader who will stand by it's decission or secure American interest, he will chicken out as soon there's some trouble and exactly that he is planning TACO, the blockade is for putting pressure on Iranians for negotiations and to rest of the world also, where everyone would be trying to open the strait and by doing so giving the US a face saving form failing to achieve its gols in iran,
How do you guys want these to be pan out?
