Dont be duped by the Shadow Fleet.

1500 ships around the world.
More than 600 have moved Iranian crude.
60 or so in the country's state fleet.

Don't be duped into thinking the U.S. sanctioned Rich Starry picked up oil from the UAE.

Chinese tanker passes thru the Strait.

Reading comprehension is important.


Yes, especially when people have no access to a subscription link to Reuters and jump to ignorant conclusions.

Here, let me help educate the forum:

State of U.S. Blockade Is Unclear as Some Ships Transit Strait of Hormuz - The New York Times

You're Welcome!

GO BEARS!



Let's face it. You got duped again. As the Reuters article states, the tanker you whined and moaned about got its cargo from the UAE. Does it really take a stable genius to make 7 edits on your post? Wow.


Let's face it.

I had to "dumb" down my post for people here who suffer from poor reading comprehension.
Hence 7 edits.

Especially for those who claimed that I "whined and moaned" about a U.S. sanctioned ship making it thru the Strait.
That claim is yet another baseless IGNORANT claim, given my actual post shown below.

Why is your reading comprehension so terribly poor?

Do better.
Thanks.





Wow, 5 edits! Wow.

Why do we care that a Chinese tanker went through the Strait? You posted it like it actually mattered because you thought it did. It turns out that you failed to read the details, got duped again, and, like always, cannot admit it when you are wrong.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.amazon.com/Book-Reading-Comprehension-Activities-Grade/dp/1641522941&ved=2ahUKEwjLgtrXz-2TAxUbBbwBHd9GD28QFnoECBIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw143QzD7eCyUhJUSCkM4W3y


"Bingo"


Speaking of being duped again.
And unable to follow details . . .

The Rich Starry was broadcasting that it was loitering off the coast of the UAE, according to maritime-data firm Kpler. That was a FAKE TRAIL.

Loyd's List analysts who comb thru data along with advanced analytics and human intelligence to detect SPOOFING found that the ship had FAKED ITS SIGNAL for more than 10 days until Tuesday when it tried to leave the Persian Gulf --- giving it the opportunity to load up Iranian oil products in that period

Ships such as the Rich Starry (which has changed its name twice in the last 11 years) are part of the Iranian "Shadow Fleet" that have been dodging sanctions for years.

They are experts at evading detection by going "dark", spoofing their transponder signals by broadcasting FALSE info about their positions. They also will transfer oil at sea to conceal the cargo's origin.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hopefully, people wont be so easily duped by false tweets on the internet and not being able to read details.

Thanks.


Wow, one ship allegedly faking its signal for 10 days and allegedly getting past the blockade somehow justifies all the TDS infused Iranian propaganda the useful idiots have been posting here.

The article you posted has a subtitle that reads

"A network of vessels has helped Iran evade sanctions but naval patrols pose a new challenge"

Shocker.

Lolz.

Duh.

Meeting in Pakistan on Monday.

Trump reiterates his pledge to bomb power plants and bridges if the Strait doesnt open.

By extension, you and I are now thieves, too.
Not what I was hoping for.

Old News.

The U.S. averaged nearly 13 mbpd of oil production in 2023 under Sleepy Joe.

We bypassed Russia and Saudi Arabia in oil production in 2018.
