Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Supply-wise, what are we talking about

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Are all the shortage conversations, jet fuel, et cetera, is that back on now?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Is that still a reality?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Like, what's that going to start to look like?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

It's normally still on.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

It never changed, right?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

I think that's the issue is that right now, so again, just for context, roughly of the 20 million barrels a day of previously, kind of previous flow that was traveling through our humus every day, roughly 7 million barrels of that has been offset by rerouting.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

The Saudi East-West pipeline, kind of Iran's flow continuing, et cetera, et cetera.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

But,

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

That means 13 million barrels can't exit the Gulf and has been forcibly shut in.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

That's the barrels that we're losing kind of every single day.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

And right now, you know, thus far in the crisis, we've lost roughly more than 400 million barrels, barrels that were going to be produced this year that now just aren't.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

The longer this goes on, you know, you quickly approach a billion barrels, particularly with the necessary ramp back up.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

So, yeah, this is going to continue.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

You know, the longer this goes on, you're going to need to fill that hole because 13 million barrels a day.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

Now, 15, actually, if you block Iranian flow, because that was one of the offsets previously.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

So 15 million barrels a day.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

There's no supply source in the world that can fill that.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
4/13/26: Trump Blockades Hormuz Strait, Negotiations Break Down, Gas Prices Spike

So if the straight remains closed, if this is, again, a month or two more of what we're talking about, you're going to need to see prices skyrocket again.

in order to forcibly destroy demand.
