🇺🇸🇮🇱There are seven US refueling tankers in the air over the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
An eighth tankers has just got airborne from Tel Aviv's Ben "Gorilla" Airport.

@SimurghRes

Although the Trump regime refuses to admit it, it is clear that the gruelling Iranian ballistic missile and drone strikes have hammered the fight out of CENTCOM for the moment.
The Iranian government, and the Supreme National Security Council headed by President Pezeshkian, have so far prevented Iran's Strategic Missile Command from targeting and sinking the US warships in the Arabian Sea, otherwise the US blockade would have been over by now.
The Omani delegation has now left Tehran without word on the success of their Washington-sponsored efforts.
Iran earlier released an impressive list of targets that it claims it has destroyed.
Around 80% of the US losses on the list have already been confirmed via satellite verification.
This means the US can technically conduct airstrikes on Iran, but it simply cannot protect its troops and hardware in the inevitable Iranian ballistic missile and drone retaliatory strikes.
This leaves CENTCOM in a very precarious position teetering on total defeat.
However given the current Iranian government make up, we should expect Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf to wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory.

And now, this...

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷Iran's Ministry of Petroleum announces that oil worth $11.5 billion was sold during the 40-day war and oil worth $6.5 billion during the ceasefire period.
It was also announced that, despite the war, sanctions, and the blockade, the Ministry realised more than 60 percent of the projected annual oil revenue stipulated in the budget.

🇮🇱Israeli media:

"Trump will not enter into a serious confrontation with Iran anytime soon, because the Iranians have destroyed a significant portion of the [US] defense systems in the Persian Gulf region.

🇮🇷 The oil tanker NEW PRIME changed its course toward the Cape of Good Hope after stopping for four days, instead of continuing its journey to the Saudi port of Yanbu. This adds 11 days to its arrival time due to the Yemeni blockade of the port.

🇺🇸The US media are also reporting that President Donald Trump has, at least for now, shelved plans for a major expansion of US military strikes against Iran, citing concerns within the administration regarding the depletion of the Pentagon's stocks of Patriot interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East.
This reported pause does not signal a shift toward peace; rather, it is a calculation of costs.
Reportedly, US officials are concerned that a return to major combat operations could dangerously deplete air defense stockpiles, escalate the conflict, leave the US Persian Gulf proxies vulnerable to Iranian retaliation, and exacerbate global energy and refugee crises.
**I put an opinion piece in to this effect overnight. Nice to see my perspective is echoed by the US and Israeli media since.

@SimurghRes

🇺🇸The New York Times:

"According to internal estimates by the Department of Defense and congressional officials, the Pentagon used more than 1,200 Patriot interceptor missiles in combat by late April, each costing over $4 million, leading to a worrying depletion of stockpiles.
Military officials reported this week that the situation has since worsened."

🇬🇧According to the Financial Times, the prominent marine insurer Lloyd’s of London has informed its brokers that it will stop providing war-risk insurance for Saudi-linked cargoes following Ansarallah strikes on two Saudi oil tankers.
Some other insurance companies are considering cancelling existing insurance contracts. These restrictions apply to any vessel with a "link to Saudi Arabia," including foreign ships that have previously called at Saudi ports.

An oil tanker in violation of regulations in the Strait of Hormuz, having deviated from the route designated by Iran, exploded an hour ago after striking a naval mine.
The Islamic Republic of Iran had previously warned repeatedly that vessels deviating from the route announced by Iran would bear the consequences themselves.
