U.S., Russia Are Reducing Impact of Strait of Hormuz Closure
(103FM-Jerusalem Post) "The Chinese will get supplies from the Russians" to make up for the U.S. blockade of oil exports from Iran, former Israeli Navy commander Maj.-Gen. (res.) Eliezer Marom told 103FM on Wednesday, as alternative energy arrangements are reducing the impact of the disruption on global fuel markets. "The ones who have gained are the Americans and the Russians, who will be able to supply more oil and gas. Trump's solution of closing the straits is working very well; the Iranians feel choked off, and nothing is entering or leaving their ports." Marom also noted that the Houthis in Yemen had done the minimum required to satisfy Iran but had not taken the broader steps Tehran may have wanted.
