Iran launched new attacks against oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, ending a period of relative calm in the critical waterway. The Revolutionary Guard Corps carried out the operations, though specific vessels targeted and any resulting damage were not detailed in initial reports. The strait handles roughly one-fifth of global oil supply. Regional tensions had eased somewhat in recent weeks before this escalation.
Our analysts note that nothing says 'strategic patience' like blowing up the customer's merchandise right before the holiday shipping season. Tehran has apparently concluded that the global economy was enjoying an unreasonable stretch of predictability and needed a reminder that energy prices are ultimately a function of Iranian mood swings. The Revolutionary Guard's new recruitment slogan — 'We put the 'hormuz' in 'hormuz-ing your supply chain'' — is reportedly testing well in focus groups.
