Overnight, it became clear that Iran's guarantee given to certain countries for a free passage through the Strait of Hormuz cannot be assured any longer. Two Chinese oil tankers had to stop and return after Iran issued a warning. At the moment it is not quite clear, if there is further escalation, possibly involving ships from enemy countries trying to pass as well.
Information saying that Saudi-Arabia's pipeline is now running at
7 million barrel per day has been confirmed by different sources.
US paratroopers deployed by USS Tripoli, a light aircraft carrier, are probably intended to invade three tiny Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz to get the sea passage under US control. The oil installations of Khargh Island in the Persian Gulf are a rather unlikely target as US losses would be significant there.
