Sane opinion from Royal Navy Commander:
UK Prime minister needs to listen to everything this man says.

His ego is controlling him
This is completely embarrassing. So beneath the office of the presidency. I say that because the presidency of the United States is bigger than any one man.

Important comment on the economic impact of the adverse US naval
blockade in the Strait of Hormuz on Iran:
The blockade will cost Iran an estimated $276 million per day in lost exports In addition to disrupting $159 million a day in imports,
Which translates to a total economic damage of about $435 million per day, or $13 billion per month.
More than 90% of Iran's annual trade of $109.7 billion passes through the Gulf.
Oil and gas account for 80% of government export revenues
And 23.7% of GDP. Out Island alone generates about $53 billion annually, or as I told @TIME: "$78 billion annually in energy revenue."
Iran was exporting about 1.5 million barrels per day, with revenues of up to $139 million per day at wartime prices (about $87 per barrel), although transferring money was difficult due to banking sanctions. The US blockade will stop this export immediately.
Kharg Island, which handles 92 percent of crude exports, is located deep in the Gulf and has no realistic alternative. That's $139 million a day… gone.
Petrochemicals:Iran exported $19.7 billion in petrochemical products in 9 months of 2024/2025, or about $54 million per day.
All these exports pass through Asalouyeh, Khomeini Port, and Bandar Abbas Port, all within the blockade zone.
There is no land route that can transport these quantities. Another $54 million a day… gone.
Non-oil exports:Iran's non-oil trade amounted to $51.7 billion in 2025. After deducting petrochemicals, about $88 million a day in cargo (metals, metals, etc.) flows through Gulf ports. About 90% of them will be banned. This means an additional loss of about $79 million per day.
Ports:More than 90% of Iran's maritime trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Bandar Abbas Port alone handles 53% of all shipping operations.
Khomeini Port handles 58 percent of commodity imports. Bushehr ports transported 57 million tons last year. They are all located deep in the Gulf
Alternatives?Iran's options outside the strait are very slim. Port Gask, often promoted as an alternative route, operates at a fraction of its design capacity of 1 million barrels per day.
Only 10 of the 20 storage tanks were built. Actual capacity: only about 70,000 barrels per day. Chabahar Port handles only 8.5 million tons per year. The five ports on the Caspian Sea combined handle 11 million tons, compared to more than 220 million tons across the Gulf
Imports:Iran imported $58 billion worth of goods in 2025, or about $159 million per day. The blockade stifles industrial inputs, machinery and consumer goods. Food inflation had already reached 105% by February 2026, and rice prices had risen sevenfold.
The situation will get significantly worse under siege. (The siege will allow Hopefully to unload humanitarian cargo
Storage clock is very important:Iran has about 50-55 million barrels of total onshore oil storage capacity, which is about 60% full
Reserve capacity: about 20 million barrels. With 1.5 million barrels per day of surplus production normally exported, storage will fill up in just 13 days. After that, Iran must close the wells.
Why is this so important:
When mature wells are closed, the bottom water rushes in (a process called water coning). Oil droplets are permanently trapped in the rock pores and can never be recovered.
Iran's fields are already declining their production by 5-8% annually. A forced shutdown could permanently destroy a production capacity of 300-500 thousand barrels per day, or $9-15 billion annually in revenue… gone forever
Currency collapse accelerator:The riyal has already collapsed from 42,000 to 1.5 million to the dollar.
Banks limit withdrawals to $18-30 per day. General inflation: 47.5%. A blockade that eliminates all foreign exchange revenues will push the riyal into eventual hyperinflation. The regime issued the largest banknote in its history: 10 million riyals, equal to only about $7.
Conclusion:
A naval blockade imposes a total economic damage of about $435 million per day.
Storage fills up in 13 days, forcing wells to close and causing permanent damage to tanks.
The Rial enters the final collapse phase.
Iran's alternatives outside the strait cannot compensate for less than 10 percent of the energy passing through the Gulf. The blockade makes the continuation of the war economically impossible..
