BREAKING! Reports coming in from US intelligence that Iran has started mining the Strait of Hormuz. IF TRUE. This is a huge escalation. Sea mines do not discriminate in the way a directed drone strike would. Until the USA goes in an removes the mines the Strait will be closed. Saudi is ramping up export via its pipelines which could be a massive offset factor. Not solve the problem level, but ease a lot of pressure. The global oil crisis will not go away so easily. Chaos is here.(Lark Davis)
