FULL DISPATCH
๐จ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ A tanker captain crossed Hormuz with every light, phone and tracker switched off and his ship still got targeted by missiles No navigation lights, no phones, no tracking signal, hugging Oman's coast under US protection and steering around a ship that had just been hit... that's an oil run through Hormuz now, according to one captain who spoke to Bloomberg. The same week, Rubio said Iran has "lost complete control" of the strait, with oil flowing at almost prewar levels. Both can be true, because the oil is moving, but only through the dark. So how long will crews keep volunteering for these night runs? The IRGC is now vowing to block the southern routes, so every week this lasts pushes crew pay and insurance higher, and the flow Rubio is celebrating rests on sailors willing to bet their lives on it.
