Iran can block oil getting out of the Strait of Hormuz in a number of ways.

.the ADCOP pipeline was built in 2012 for one specific reason.. so Abu Dhabi could keep exporting 1.5 million barrels a day even if the Strait of Hormuz went dark.. 406 kilometers of insurance policy routed entirely around the chokepoint..

Iran didn't hit a military base.. Iran hit the insurance policy..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline.. the only other major Hormuz bypass.. was struck on April 8.. losing 700,000 barrels a day of throughput..

both bypasses.. hit.. within 30 days of each other..
