I think this is going to go on for a long time/escalate from here. UAE asks US for a swap line -> US agreed -> UAE announces they are leaving opec. Interestingly, UAE has the most spare production capacity right now. I think US basically asked UAE to leave opec and go nuts with oil pumping because this war is going to go on for a while and US needed more oil to enter the market. OPEC’s limits were holding them back. All looks like moves to prepare for a long war/blockade with Iran.

bogz_dev Apr 29, 2026 +27

not really? apparently their capacity to stockpile the oil they're pumping is near full, at which point they will have to shut down refineries because they can't get the volume sold. and refineries that are shut down take a long time to start back up apparently.

nrq Apr 29, 2026 +32

I don't think the refinery will be targeted, it's thousands of kilometers of pipelines that's a much easier target. What happens down there is complete lunacy and I have no idea why the USA doesn't retreat, like, *now*. Besides that it hurts the ego of cheeto mussolini, obviously. If this goes on the coming winter will be fun for Europe.

32

SkiingAway Apr 29, 2026 +8

Pipelines are far easier to fix. Hell, even non wartime generic Western construction projects with every law and regulation under the sun can build miles of new-build ones in a day. If you want it fixed quick and dirty you can repair one far too rapidly for the pipeline itself to be that great of a target. Key pumping stations/valves are a little more difficult but still nothing that long of a time span to repair if the spares exist - and these are not particularly rare items.

Bluest_waters Apr 29, 2026 +28

Iran has already hit it multiple times! The port in question is the Port of Fujairah , it is the second largest bunkering hub in the world. A bunkering hub is a place where tankers can refuel, as tankers need a very specific type of fuel. They can't just roll up to a gas station. And yes Iran has already hit it multiple times, very luckily for the UAE damage was light and they were able to repair it. But Iran has shown they could hit it. Don't listen to these people telling you“ the pipelines are hundreds of miles long and they're easy to repair”. Ukraine has proved this wrong over and over. What you do is you hit the pipeline, you wait for the repair team to show up, then you double tap and hit it again period now nobody wants to repair the damage. The fact of the matter is the UAE is sitting in a very very precarious spot right now. 50% of their oil is off the market and their rich Instagram tourists are no longer interested. They are screwed

28

Remarkable-Fish-4229 Apr 29, 2026 +4

Are we just ignoring the several US naval groups in the area for just this reason? This is essentially a siege now and Iran would need to be strategic in what they want to hit. They would need to maximize destruction with their strikes going forward while the US has time to reload their fleets.

4

Dorgamund Apr 30, 2026 +4

I mean, Iran's predominant strategy is increasing the political and diplomatic costs of continuing the war by increasing the price of oil. Hitting the port *is* strategic. It is giving the US more breathing room, and most ships aren't daring the straits anymore. I honestly think Iran would rather barrage the port with missiles and drones in order to incur abstract economic pain on Americans than they would like to actually hit US naval groups, which might strengthen pro-war sentiment.

MostlyWong Apr 29, 2026 +14

The UAE built and maintains the [Habshan-Fujairah pipeline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habshan%E2%80%93Fujairah_oil_pipeline) that was built with the express purpose of bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. It runs from the oil fields in Abu Dhabi to the port of Fujairah on the other side of the Strait, and can support around 1.5mil barrels of oil per day, which is close to the UAE's total refining capacity. I have a feeling what we'll see next is Saudi Arabia making similar moves. During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the Saudis built the [Petroline](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East%E2%80%93West_Crude_Oil_Pipeline) to avoid potential closures of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran and Iraq began attacking merchant vessels. It has a capacity of around 7 million barrels per day after they converted LNG pipelines into crude oil pipelines in March 2026. The US is going to put heavy pressure on Saudi Arabia to leave OPEC and boost their production, using the Petroline to bypass the Strait. If both the UAE and Saudi Arabia do this, it'll relieve a lot of the pressure the global markets are facing right now. If both pipelines are operating at full capacity, they'll be pushing out around 8.5-9mil barrels per day which is about half of the regular capacity that normally passes through the Strait.

14

HowObvious Apr 29, 2026 +23

Problem is that Fujairah was already working pretty much at capacity and [averaged exporting 1.7milion barrels per day](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/why-does-port-fujairah-matter-oil-market-2026-03-14/) last year. Petroline is also limited by the Yanbu terminal, which can only support 4.5 million barrels per day. These are extremely expensive infrastrcture projects, they didnt build them to not get used just in the event this happened in the future.

23

Big_lt Apr 29, 2026 +9

They have access to areas which don't need to go through the straight via existing pipelines. Economically it's very smart for them; however they've painted a big target for terrorism on themselves

9

burritocmdr Apr 29, 2026 +9

Right, Iran has already attacked that site and disrupted operations there. Also that refinery is limited and doesn't do the full range of hydrocarbons.

9

JMEEKER86 Apr 29, 2026 +4

The pipeline can only handle about 1/3 of their current production output with the remainder relying fully on the strait. The pipeline can't even handle their current capacity let alone their spare capacity.

4

Timhotep Apr 29, 2026 +7

The UAE has a shoreline on the Gulf of Oman past Hormuz where it has docks and refineries so they're not as impacted by the closure as some of the other gulf countries.

7

martialar Apr 29, 2026 +7

you've got to pay Hormuz toll if you want this boy's oil

7

HonestBalloon Apr 29, 2026 +24

Storage is holding everybody back in the ME, capacity is full and without the means to ship it out, there's no point an extracting much more, which is probably why it appears like there is spare production at the moment. Trump was looking to pull OPEC apart since before this war, this is just this another attempt at market manipulation by moving the only available pawn on the board at the moment.

6

Competitive_Touch_86 Apr 29, 2026 +15

UAE has wanted to leave OPEC for quite a while now. They have a lower price per barrel to balance their budget than any other country in the region, and benefit the most from pumping more regardless of the cost. They don't need $80 barrels to sustain their spending like the Saudis do. Plus they have the capacity available to do so. They are very likely under pretty severe cashflow pressure at the moment, plus this whole thing made it a good time to make the move. It has less to do with the US than it does regional politics and simple budgetary math.

15

thefunkybassist Apr 29, 2026 +6

Does that mean the US has control over that supply line and could use it to block the rest of the world from it?

6

Beard_o_Bees Apr 29, 2026 +6

Petro-dollar noob here. Wasn't OPEC created so that no one country in the mid-East could exert too much control over the supply/price of oil? With the UAE leaving OPEC, wont we effectively be putting ourselves back in the same situation that led to massive shortages in the 1970's? What happens when the UAE decides they'd like to influence policy in any country around the world, but particularly the US, by choking off supply? Why would any other regional oil producer elect to stay in OPEC when they can make a ton more money and exert political power by getting out? Edit: Now realizing that I misunderstood OPEC. OPEC *caused* the (artificial) shortage in the 70's by working together to cut oil supply in order to apply political pressure. OPEC existed before the 70's embargo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEC

We've dumped reserves and inflated the market for weeks trying to hide gas prices. Now my locals are ranging around $4.16-$4.25 and they're only going up from here. Garuntee it's $6-7 by the end of May.

46

ElegantBiscuit Apr 29, 2026 +16

Yeah I remember when I filled up a week ago it was still around $3.80 where I am, all of a sudden I noticed $4.30 this morning. Once the reserves empty out it will really start to hurt, but that's just the beginning. It will eventually make its way into the price of goods for anything that uses plastic at any point in its production or distribution, which is actually everything. Inflation will start ticking up over the next few months, and the full effects will take about a year to play out as every part of the supply chain readjusts to higher costs.

16

Smile_Space Apr 29, 2026 +9

Well, I think it's more accurate to say that the final tankers that left the Strait 2 months ago have finally entered port and unloaded. So, there's no more oil en route and that will cause prices to go up. We've been in an artificially deflated oil market with Trump emptying out the Strategic Oil Reserve and ships still arriving from the Strait that made it out before March 1st. Now we're seeing the true price of oil being reflected as it starts to inflate to match reality.

9

strolls Apr 29, 2026 +4

I'm not sure the market is pricing things in yet - according to the headline this is in recognition that the blockade is still active. Pretty much every time I say that the market hasn't yet priced this all in yet, people keep telling me that I'm over-reacting and that the price of 1-year oil futures shows that this is just a short-term thing and that oil prices will be back to normal once the strait is open again (and supply resumes properly). This replies don't acknowledge any longterm reduction to the oil supply, and that deffo has happened, with wells closing and Iran bombing its neighbours' oil refineries.

As a millennial, I have never witnessed such a sudden self inflicted wound. The Middle East post 9/11 turned into a quagmire, but initially there was success and it didn’t take long to topple the suddam regime. The people in charge (bush admin) were war mongers, but at least they weren’t inept. They had resumes. Iran was a disaster from the very beginning. There is not a single person high up in the Trump admin that has extensive experience. You could sense trumps panic as soon as the strait was closed. He never expected them to do it despite it being Iran’s most obvious counter move. And for the cherry on top, Trump spent year bashing all his allies, and so none are coming to his aid. This is a blunder that will forever be in the history books.

Thier plan for Iraq was, "We'll be greeted as liberators, so we don't need a plan for the aftermath." They didn't have a plan for Afghanistan either. Just topple the Taliban government, and assume that secular democracy would follow. They really weren't that different from the Trump regime. Our military quagmires stem from the belief that America is invincible and omnipotent. The Bush admin believed this as much as Trump does, and even a large portion of Democrats. American society has a deep unwillingness to confront the reality that we can't always bend the world to our whims.

Yep. However, if it goes much higher then demand destruction begins to kick in.

"Yes, but do YOU make more money when it's expensive?"

It’s also in Russia’s best interest (3rd largest oil producer in the world) for the price to stay high

Probably stock your freezer and fridge too. Food prices gonna skyrocket real quick real soon. A thing of scotts fertilizer is like $100 for 12k sq ft right now for my yard. Used to be $40 a year ago. Farmers and food producers are struggling. Companies still need to report record profits. Cause stonks. You'll foot that bill.

Too late where I'm at. It already jumped about 50 cents a gallon overnight.

ShinySpoon Apr 29, 2026 +26

On my drive home from work yesterday in only a ten mile span I saw prices from $3.60 to $4.30. The stations at $3.60 had lines out the property. I hope people are getting fed up and asking why this is happening so needlessly, just so gas and oil and post record profits again.

26

Theduckisback Apr 29, 2026 +25

And this is with us using our Strategic petroleum Reserves to ease prices. Many other countries are doing the same thing. When those run out? The prices will have to jump up even more until demand/consumption falls enough to reach equilibrium. And that means a worldwide recession and slowing economic activity. This war will go down as one of the great unforced errors of the 21st century.

Raw_Venus Apr 29, 2026 +84

That's why I hate these style of comments. Yes MAGA deserves it, but everyone who voted against trump and the GOP also has to pay for it. I can't afford a new car, plus my apartment complex doesn't offer EV charging anyways. I'd have to run an extension cord out the kitchen window and charge via 120v or make the sketcheist extension cord and make a 240v cord the plugs into a dryer outlet.

ApathyMoose Apr 29, 2026 +8

So i used to travel and work on ATMs in the northeast. I remember working in NYC and i saw someone parked on the street that had a extension cord from like a 3rd story window going down, hanging through a couple small trees, then down to their EV. so... its doable lol.

70% of us deserve it though so unfortunately it is a super majority of US voters that either voted for trump or just decided to stay silent which also means they didnt mind Trump.

32

CyclingThruChicago Apr 29, 2026 +39

People seem to consistently ignore this point. The bulk of Americans choose this either directly or through their complete inaction. Trump didn't usurp power. The American people gave it to him and the Republican party even with folks screaming at them constantly that bad things would happen. We in the midst of reaping what was sown and we're all going to suffer for it for many more years to come. Even if there was a complete sweep in November so much damage has been done.

39

PhloxOfSeagulls Apr 29, 2026 +4

It absolutely sucks that we have to pay for their stupidity when we didn't vote for it, tried to warn people, and also know that most of them will still continue to blame us anyway.

random20190826 Apr 29, 2026 +10

At some point, gas prices will get so high that more and more people can't afford to get to work. That will drive up the price of homes near workplaces and cause those far away to go down. Remote jobs will be ever more competitive (harder to get for everyone).

There's literally nothing I can do about that. I mean, am I supposed to say "Sorry, Cousin Bill, you sure owned us libs, we were wrong to question you, and if you call off your messiah figure, you can be invited back to Thanksgiving?" No, of course not. I'm going to say "Thanks Cousin Bill for the high prices we all have to pay. Next time think before you vote."

Wait for Trump to announce a pullout "in 2 weeks". His people have already shorted the market, and waiting for the manipulation.

It just makes everyone seem incompetent the price fluxuating like this. Like *of course* the blockade will continue, Trump is an idiot. Is anyone paying attention or are the people investing these vast sums of money just completely stupid with the attention span of a goldfish? Is this the backbone of what is supposedly a *working* economy? I cant believe it still functions.

Paid $4.07/gallon for gas this morning. That's actually the lowest price in my area 😖 Can't wait to be unable to pay for gas soon, then lose my job because I can't commute, then be homeless because I have no income, then walk 6 miles to a bridge and jump.

It's going to spike over the next week or so, then probably start to come down as the UAE boosts production past OPEC levels. Unless Iran has a countermeasure. People will cheer, and there will be long term consequences they won't pay attention to.
