Iran's Oil Just Started Spilling Into the Gulf

52 square kilometers. 3,000+ barrels. Detected May 5 by satellite — drifting south toward Saudi waters at 2 km/h. The cause? Officially unknown. A pipeline rupture. A storage tank that burst. Maybe both. What's certain is the timing: Iran has been blockaded since April 13. Tankers can't leave. Storage at Kharg Island has been near maximum for weeks. The oil had nowhere to go. Today, May 9, Iran's national security commission threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz "forever" to any country backing the US peace resolution. Bahrain named directly. When a country can't sell its oil, can't store its oil, and can't move its tankers — the strait stops being a chokepoint. It becomes a weapon. #geopolitics #iran #oil #hormuz #kharg #irancrisis #moneymaps #persiangulf #oilcrisis Follow Money Maps for more geopolitics, mapped. #Shorts
