This Ain't Your Father's Tanker War || Peter Zeihan
What was said
"There's 2,000 ships trapped in the Gulf right now."
Zeihan revealed the scale of the maritime crisis, with 2,000 commercial vessels unable to transit due to Iranian actions and US-Iran conflict. This massive number contrasts sharply with the 11-ship convoys the US escorted during the 1980s Tanker War.
