⚓ 1. The Gulf Is Calm — But Only for Some

  • Oil kept flowing even during the strikes

  • Iranian exports are rising, not falling

  • Most risk was fear-driven, not disruption-based

  • Smart owners used neutral tonnage: Chinese, Turkish, Indian vessels

📌 Result: Gulf risk has eased — but that never stopped tankers anyway.


🚫 2. The Red Sea? That’s a Different Battle

  • Ceasefire or not, Houthis’ local goals remain

  • They already threatened U.S. ships — again

  • GPS spoofing, drone risks, and missile range haven’t disappeared

📌 Result: No one’s rushing back. Owners, insurers, and charterers still avoid the corridor.
