Only four ships in the month of May got past the U.S.
blockade.
So that just shows you how effective this was.
Now, when you're looking at the bounce back, people are estimating for the month of June that Iran export about 1.6, 1.8.
That's a conservative estimate when it comes to exports.
You know, average barrels of oil per day.
You multiply that times the price of oil, you minus some of the transaction costs, and then you'll be able to look at the way the regime is able to repatriate the money.
It is a lot of cash.
And now it may not be astronomical sums that are transformational for this regime.
But for this regime, there is such a thing as good enough for government work, and it's trying to limp along and outlast Trump and outlast Bibi.
So suffice to say, anything greater than 64,000 barrels per day is going to be helping this regime get off the mat and stand back up.
And that's really the fear I have for the administration, which is as it moves to tackle the harder issues, like the nuclear issue in these 60 days, it will have less, not more leverage.
You know, that's exactly what the administration wanted.
You can even kind of envision President Trump telling the negotiators, get me the straight open at all other costs.
Let's promise them some unicorns and rainbows that after 60 days we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
There are some things legally and politically like this sanctions waiver that are problematic.
In my view, if the administration has no intent on delivering on bigger relief, well, then that may be a side relief for us.
But then we have to be prepared for the escalation that we were unprepared for during the fighting and during the ceasefire.
So, yes, the strait is supposed to be open.
But you just saw last night the Islamic Republic.
