#2This is all about Hormuz, isn't it? Even though the attack itself was in Basra, Iraq, the intention seems to be to terrify any companies thinking of sailing through the Persian Gulf.
I wonder how many more caches of drones Iran has lying around. Days? Weeks? Years?
There's also the question of how to resupply any anti-drone systems in the area - maybe we'll see convoys carrying interceptors crossing the Arabian desert.

#4A week ago we saw Iranian and Greek vessels plying the Strait [1]. I guess Tehran is now establishing its monopoly.

#5These tankers aren't easily replaceable are they? As in it takes significant time to build them.
Even if Trump's claims that the war will end shortly were true. Oil prices are guaranteed not coming down if many more of these ships are sunk.

#7One of the self-owns of all time. Triggering a global supply chain crisis right before midterms is bottom of the barrel strategy. But then again, who expects competency from any recent American administration, most especially this one?

What does "closed" mean in this context?
