Lark Davis(@LarkDavis):Four crew killed in a suspected Houthi attack on a cargo vessel in the Red Sea. US Navy helicopter fired Hellfire missiles at a ship's steering gear in the Gulf of Oman for breaking the Iranian port blockade. Both sides want compensation from each other, and nobody is budging. Two chokepoints, ~26% of world oil supply. Oil price isn't going down anytime soon, is it?

Iran: Pay up, 5 months of damage. Trump: Nope. You owe us 50 years of damage. Cool, so we've gone from ceasefire to a receipt-swapping contest. Oil still elevated with 20% of the world's supply stuck behind a strait both sides claim to control. Nobody's winning this except whoever sells tanker insurance.
