The two-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran appeared at risk of unraveling less than a day after it was announced.

Three parts of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal have been violated, Ghalibaf said. The violations are Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, he said.

    Uh oh.

    Also, I found some interesting trackers:

    https://www.shiptraffic.net/2001/04/hormuz-strait-ship-traffic.html

    No ships going through yet. And one had a very interesting nugget of info on insurance:

    Insurance withdrawal makes transit commercially unviable independent of physical conditions. Even if the security situation improves tomorrow, insurers take weeks to reinstate coverage. Ships cannot sail without P&I cover — ports won’t accept them, banks won’t finance cargo, charterers won’t book them. Three weeks in, no insurer has shown willingness to reinstate. This is why the disruption will persist well beyond any resolution.

        Apparently Iran has a map of safe routes that they give out to ships paying their transit fee.

      add on top of that:

      • time for Iran to administrate passage
      • time for each boat to enter/exit under security
      • reduced production rates due to full tanks or damaged infrastructure
      • time for countries to raise sovereign capital (selling bonds, gold and currency reserves) to meet price increases

      estimates are a reduction of 15-25% of global supply and 3-5 years to recover IF the straight is opened immediately and stays open. You can’t print oil ppl. The price per barrel will need to be high enough to squash 15-25% of global demand. We could see $300-350+ per barrel.

      This is bullshit. There is a combination of excess and premium that any insurer would accept.

      Or the USA could provide/pay the insurance. Trump wants the strait open, he can backstop the insurance.
