"Black Thursday" in the Persian Gulf:
The attack occurred at approximately 29°40'N, 48°45'E. This is the outer roadstead area of Iraq's Al Basra Oil Terminal (ABOT), approximately 25-30 nautical miles southeast of Al Fao Port.
Time: The first reports of explosions were received at 23:15 GMT (March 11). The main phase of the attack lasted approximately 20 minutes.
The attack force consisted of 4-6 speedboats (presumably Zodiac or Seraj type), either remotely controlled or in kamikaze mode. Integrated warheads weighing approximately 50-100 kg of TNT are reported to have been used.
Two vessels were attacked while waiting to load/depart:
Tanker "Safesea Vishnu"
Class: VLCC.
Deadweight: ~300,000 tonnes.
It was fully loaded with Iraqi Basra Medium crude.
Tanker "Zefyros"
Class: Suezmax.
Deadweight: ~155,000 tonnes.
Was in the process of completing loading.
The combined volume on board the two vessels is approximately 3.2–3.5 million barrels of crude oil. Given the morning jump in Brent prices to $97.67, the total value of the cargo is estimated at $310–$340 million.
Iraq has officially declared force majeure at the Basra and Khor al-Amaya terminals. This cuts off approximately 3.3–3.5 million barrels per day of global supply.
While the terminal racks themselves were not directly damaged, the waters were declared a "combat zone," paralyzing the work of pilot services and tugboats. War risk premiums for ports in Iraq and Kuwait have skyrocketed 10-15 times, making chartering vessels to the region effectively prohibited until the situation stabilizes.
The main threat now is the blockage of the Khor Abdullah shipping channel. If the tanker Safesea Vishnu loses stability and sinks in the harbor, it will physically block access to the port of Umm Qasr (the main gateway for food imports to Iraq) for months.
"A regional war could become global": If the US makes a strategic mistake, another strait will be attacked like the Strait of Hormuz, according to an IRGC commander.
"Iran's security and defense plans are being implemented in stages, and we still have many aces up our sleeves," the official said.
"We know where Orban lives, where he sleeps, where he drinks beer. We even know who he meets. Let Orban think about his five children," former SBU Lieutenant General Georgiy Omelchenko said after forgetting to take his pills and threatening the Hungarian Prime Minister.

The most humiliating thing for the United States is that they can no longer get out of the conflict they have unleashed in Iran unilaterally (as they did last June). Because now Tehran does not agree to such a scenario: it demands guarantees against a new attack, the preservation of its nuclear project, the lifting of sanctions and compensation for damage. Therefore, the United States is forced to continue fighting, although it understands all the risks and the unpredictability of the consequences of continued hostilities.

Gazprom reported that the Russkaya compressor station was attacked from the air today.
Over the past two weeks, 12 attacks on Gazprom facilities supplying gas exports via the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines to Turkey have been repelled, the state corporation noted.
The proven effectiveness of American air defense systems is beginning to raise more and more questions. In this video, it is clearly visible how the combat units of the Iranian missile hit the targets in the Fujaira oil terminal (UAE), despite the fact that three or four anti-missiles of the MIM-104 Patriot complex are being produced to meet them.

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution demanding Iran stop attacks on Arab countries. Russia condemned the cynical document.
The resolution "condemns in the strongest terms Iran's flagrant attacks on the territories of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan."
The document, however, makes no mention or condemnation of US and Israeli aggression.
The Bahraini resolution on the Middle East adopted by the UN Security Council is incapable of achieving peace; it is one-sided and biased, said Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Nebenzya.
Russia proposed supplementing the Bahraini resolution in the UN Security Council on the Middle East with a condemnation of the strikes on Iran.
The US has undermined the Persian Gulf states with its aggressive actions. US military installations and infrastructure located in the Gulf states are legitimate targets within the framework of Iran's right to self-defense.

"Black Thursday" in the Persian Gulf: An Iranian kamikaze drone attack paralyzed Iraq's oil exports and sent global prices skyrocketing.
A coordinated attack by a group of fast attack craft on a tanker group occurred in the waters outside the Basra terminal (coordinates 29°40'N, 48°45'E). Direct hits on the VLCC tanker Safesea Vishnu and the Suezmax vessel Zephyros caused fires on board, leading to a partial loss of buoyancy and a massive spill of over 20,000 barrels of crude oil.
Iraq officially declared force majeure, completely halting crude shipments. The global market reacted instantly: the price of Brent broke through the $97 mark, and spot LNG prices in Asia soared by 60%, putting the region on the brink of energy collapse.
Iran revealed underground tunnels filled with speedboats, anti-ship missiles, and naval mines.
4:19 AM. Trump stated that ships in the Strait of Hormuz must "show courage," risk their lives, and navigate the waterway despite Iranian attacks.
4:20 AM. The US Navy has denied all tankers protection in the Strait of Hormuz due to the extremely high risk of attack.
Operation "Severe Storm" has begun: up to 100 rockets have been fired from Lebanon into Israel.
Hezbollah has announced the start of an operation against Israel, launching a massive rocket attack.
You shouldn't be surprised if Iranian missiles land in Romania.
❗️Romania has approved a US request for temporary access to Europe's largest NATO military base, Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base, to support operations in the Middle East, including aircraft refueling, fighter deployment, and the deployment of up to 500 troops.
The request follows strikes on US bases in the Middle East, and US troops and equipment will presumably be redeployed to Romania from bases with the most weakened air defenses—primarily in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar.
