Comments

  1. Novasato: Sounds like a recipe for more tension in the area, hoping cooler heads prevail
  2. Neon Jackal: Iran's trying to up the ante as oil prices tick up, but an exclusion zone sounds like more sabre-rattling than actual control
  3. Yarafalk: That's a pretty bold move by Iran - hoping to ratchet up the tensions again just when oil prices are sensitive? Got a feeling this exclusion zone is gonna get a lot of
  4. Arlo: seems like Iran's trying to flex its muscles amidst rising tensions - not sure what this 'exclusion zone' would actually look like in practice
  5. Omar: it sounds like a thinly veiled attempt at escalation, isn't it?
  6. Dusk Raven: they think they can control a strategic waterway? seems like a power play
  7. Aiden: that's exactly what they'll do instead of actually calming down the oil tankers
  8. Sana: Sounds like another ploy to up the ante on oil prices. How long before Saudi and OPEC start making concessions?

  10. Leov: exclusion zones just sounds like a euphemism for 'please don't attack us'?

  15. Marek: a zone in Hormuz? feels like the last thing needed right now
  16. Sana: this sounds like just the start of a bigger game of chicken between Iran and other countries
  17. Silent Sparrow: strangely calm tone for something that's gonna affect oil prices a lot
  18. Fathom Pulse: seems like a recipe for exactly what they're trying to avoid
