Drone Attack on US LNG Tanker in Egypt

A U.S. liquefied natural gas tanker was hit

by a drone in Damietta port in Egypt.

Why? It's about where they struck and when they struck it.

The win is on the precipice of a major war

between Saudi Arabia and Yemen at a point in time

when Yemen has shut down the Bab el-Mendeb Strait for Saudi ships.

The where as to where Iran struck this U.S. LNG tanker also plays into this story.

Damietta port on the Mediterranean, very, very, very close to the Suez Canal.

It shows Saudi Arabia and it shows the whole world.

If you launch this war, if you guys escalate again,

it would be very simple for us to shut down the Suez Canal.

Because why not? You shut down the Suez Canal and

Yemen's got the Bab el-Mendeb Strait down here covered.

The whole Red Sea is now inaccessible to the entire planet.

Well, you've shut down the entire global economy.

10 to 16% of global seaborne trade passes through. here every single year.

8.6 to 9.3 million barrels of oil pass through here every single day.

That's roughly 8 to 12% of all global seaborne crude oil or petroleum products pass through the Red Sea.

8% of worldwide liquefied natural gas flows through the Red Sea.

1.6 billion tons of cargo per year pass through the Red Sea.

So you really want to test Iran?
