• Goldman Sachs (Sep 9): Brent at $120 is now “plausible” if attacks on energy infrastructure and tankers intensify

    The countdown timer decreases by one second per second, representing the passage of time toward the calculated depletion date of March 8, 2067, based on 1.7 trillion barrels of proven reserves and current consumption of 103 million barrels per day.

Scale of Disruption

• ~20% of global oil and ~20% of global LNG normally pass through the strait (~20 million barrels/day of crude)

• 95% drop in tanker traffic (100+ vessels/day → 5)

• 80 ship attacks at or near the strait; 20 seafarers killed

• ~2,000 vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf at peak

• Combined with the Bab el-Mandeb (Red Sea) disruption and the pipeline shutdown, 39% of global trade is now affected

• The IEA calls it the “largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market” — bigger than the 1970s oil shocks 

• The Dallas Fed model: if the disruption lasts 3 quarters, WTI could hit $132/barrel by year-end, cutting global GDP growth by 1.3 percentage points

• 30+ countries are tracking confirmed fuel shortages or supply stress

• US diesel: record $6.20/gal (Sep 13)

• German diesel: record €2.45/L (Sep 17)

• Crisis pressure index: 89/100 (“extreme”) 

  Today — Day 202 (Friday, September 18)

  The crisis is at a sharp inflection point. Three developments defined the last 24 hours:

  New Attack — Tanker Trend

  Iran’s IRGC says it struck a Togo-flagged oil tanker, the Trend, for an “illegal attempt” to transit the strait.  UKMTO independently confirmed a tanker was hit by an unknown projectile at 0040 UTC (01:00 local), causing a fire that has since been extinguished.  

  This is the latest in a pattern: 80+ ship attacks since February, 20 seafarers killed. 

  A U.N.-commissioned fact-finding mission has reported reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes during two airstrikes in Iran on February 28, 2026, creating significant legal and diplomatic complications.  The panel’s findings center on strikes in Minab and Lamerd that killed at least 178 civilians, including a Tomahawk missile attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School and precision strikes on a sports complex. 

  Key Findings and Legal Implications

• Indiscriminate Attacks: The mission concluded the U.S. committed the war crime of launching indiscriminate attacks, failing to verify that the clearly identifiable civilian school and residential areas were military objectives. 

• Evidence Basis: Allegations were built on satellite imagery, video footage, and witness interviews, with experts noting the school was the intended point of impact rather than collateral damage. 

• Diplomatic Context: While the report is not legally binding, it adds to international evidence that could be used in international courts and pressures the Trump administration, which has not accepted responsibility or released its own Pentagon investigation findings. 

• Iranian Accountability: The same report accused Iran’s theocratic government of crimes against humanity, including unlawful killings and torture during its crackdown on nationwide protests.
