A review of official statements shows that the public account does not always align with what can be observed through open sources.

No

That means UAE doesn’t have to limit production to keep prices high any more, should reduce price

No evidence yet for this. All speculation. UAE can now set whatever prices it likes to suit its personal agenda. If everybody is prepared to drain their economies for 110 dollars per barrel, why would UAE not fleece whomsoever it chooses while giving preferential rates ONLY to its buddies?

Typically they can park for 2 to 3 months...but its all depends on crew endurance.

Seems US lost the war and has been deterred from further military action against Iran, without threat of nukes. @Lulldapull is right.

Brent crude reaches $115

Trumpy will really start bhangra dancing around $125

Only if they can get oil out of the PG.

You didn’t understand my post or the issue

Learn about the purpose of OPEC and why UAE might want to leave it

They have Fujairah bypass but yes that’s right

Iran needs to attack the bypass terminals in UAE and KSA or close the Bab el Mandeb to bring time back in our favour

If the Yemenis are not willing to do it, we can do it ourselves with 2000km range Shahed drones launched from south Iran and force Yemenis to join us or acknowledge they don’t want to help us

I fully understand and I am speculating, reasonably so, that the opposite of what you claim will occur for most countries. You are free to disagree.

Russia had an option of selling cheaper oil to various countries when its embargo was lifted recently. Did it do that? Or did it immediately proceed to extort anyone it possibly could (except for China with whom Moscow has a preferential partnership)?

Countries do not set the price of oil

They control their level of production. That’s the issue. Price is a function of production levels, which was tightly limited via OPEC, and no longer limited for the UAE

It's a battle of nerves now between the US and Iran. The high energy costs have a major impact on the US economy, despite Mr Trump's bluster. If Iran can hang on, the political and economic pressure on Mr Trump builds every day.

There is a total media silence. That's very strange. At least some news about the guy recovering. I mean it was a really big event and lots of news about the rescue itself.
Or maybe I have not followed the news enough.

The only thing then that explains the media silence around the downed US pilot is that the US as a country obviously doesn't feel good or proud of the war against Iran and it's militarys performance in the war,simple as that. We are not in that old "US military cant be touched its a perfect fighting force the world ever saw" era anymore.
The deaths and Injuries the US navy received from the last clash with the houthis have still not been released publicly, and that was the start of heavy censorship of war deaths by the US govt.

Then you have not been following the last quarter century of the American bombings inside Pakistan, killing Pakistani soldiers in the Salala border force (2011), sanctions on missiles program, coercing Pakistan into being India's B-team against China, Pakistan blocking NATO supplies into Afghanistan for months, bad press, including planting stories in NY Times on almost daily basis against Pakistan.
It is only when Trump II presidency came that Pakistan is getting some breathing space for reasons I don't totally understand.
Pakistan is so hopelessly lost to China that Americans have now given up on Pakistan and decided to let Pakistan be.

Well its Trump so not depended on American deep state, but on his personality. I think maybe he thinks Pakistan can pivot back to the West. Don't think it will, especially now. its just a transactional relationship. Honestly, I'm getting tired of the Iranians keep repeating that Pakistan is an American stooge. Everyone loves to hate on Pakistan as their favorite whipping boy. Just today I saw the Indians are pushing a new narrative that Pakistan backstab the US in the ceasefire talks. Before they were pushing that Pakistan is helping the US in attacking Iran in hopes that Iran launches an attack on Pakistan.

@Persian Gulf
Iran's currency has lost almost 15%-20% of its value in the last week. Pezeshkian is preparing the country for the new round of protests, it seems.

Araghchi and his men's clumsy diplomacy has cost Iran the advantage it gained on the battlefield. The IDF invasion is expanding in Lebanon, and Iran is under a naval blockade, cutting off its supplies. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are diverting exports via pipelines, leaving Iran isolated. Time is no longer on Iran's side. Once Iran is sufficiently worn down, the Zionist Air Force, fully resupplied, will launch a surprise attack. Iran has lost the war on the battlefield of diplomacy.
