speculation: two players with interest the pipeline goes out of service. IRGC & russia. for china, the price of oil certainly matters and limiting output increases price, so it is unlikely they like that.

thrownjunk Apr 8, 2026 +16
yeah. China would prefer to wait 4-5 years so they can get most of their value chain from domestic primary sources (coal, wind, solar)

Well, Ukraine’s also setting Russia’s [pipelines](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/ukraine-renews-attacks-russian-energy-sites-what-has-been-hit-2026-04-08/) on fire. You know what’s out of range of all this chaos? U.S. oil.

Good lord they were already buying all their oil from Canada and gas prices were cheaper. What the fuxk is this 4D chess being played?
25
NutsyFlamingo Apr 8, 2026 -9
Can’t really buy oil from Canada, refineries are in US. I don’t think it’s 4D chess, just more the Strait is closed or oil is reduced that can be exported the more money US makes directly or indirectly. It’s just regular, old fashioned chess

Lower_Cantaloupe1970 Apr 8, 2026 +6
I'm struggling to find your point. The US buys oil from Canada, and refines it into gas, which it puts into cars. It sells Canada this gas they have made.

xylopyrography Apr 8, 2026 +3
Canada refines 39 billion litres of gasoline annually, almost all of which is exported. And about that amount in diesel as well.

whattheheld Apr 8, 2026 +1
All of the US oil is sold. We don’t sell more unless we drill more. There is no way we can keep up with the demand to keep the price low. US will be in a recession that will far outweigh any increased oil profits

U.S. and Venezuela. Latter controlled by the U.S. basically now. People keep hyping up Russia, but Ukraine’s [intensified](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/world/europe/ukraine-attacks-russian-oil-exports.html) their attacks on Russia’s oil infrastructure.

Isreal, at no point, has stopped bombing Lebanon, the peace never actually happened. It's another market ploy.

The cease fire was specifically between US/Israel/Iran it never included Lebanon

So SA is not covered by the ceasefire anyway.

Why do they need a ceasefire fire agreement? Iran is attacking them when they aren't a party to the conflict.

Kanin_usagi Apr 8, 2026 +1
It’s an extremely easy argument to make that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are our closest allies in that region right now, and so Iran wants to hit the Saudis so they will pressure the U.S. to end the conflict

TalkersCZ Apr 8, 2026 +80
Iran requested it was included, it was part of their 10 points. Israel ignored it. They never agreed on anything, not even frame of the ceasefire.

ClearlyCylindrical Apr 8, 2026 +53
The 10 points were nothing to do with conditions for a ceasefire, they were what they intend to discuss with the US.

Groovychick1978 Apr 8, 2026 +10
According to the BBC, it is necessary for them to agree to the temporary ceasefire. I posted a source above.
10
Thrown_Account_ Apr 8, 2026 +17
So no ceasefire was agreed to because Israel has been very clear Lebanon was not agreed to.
17
Groovychick1978 Apr 8, 2026 +11
Yes, that is how it seems. Unless you look at the stock market.
11
cjsv7657 Apr 8, 2026 +4
Yes thats the plan they are negotiating for during the ceasefire to end the war. Not what was agreed to for the ceasefire. Posted on your own "source" 5 minutes later: "Iran formally agrees to ceasefire and to open Strait of Hormuz if attacks stop published at 19:25 7 April 19:25 7 April Breaking Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced Iran will agree to a ceasefire "if attacks against Iran are halted"."
4
TalkersCZ Apr 8, 2026 +7
If one side says that ceasefire only exists, if Lebanon is included, does ceasefire exist? Either they want ceasefire or not. Trump will need to force Israel to stop in Lebanon or the war will continue, simple as that.
7
Neobullseye1 Apr 8, 2026 +18
The way I see it, there are two ways you can read this entire 'ceasefire'. Either A: it applies to the three mentioned countries (US, Israel and Iran) and prohibits them from attacking anyone at all, including third parties. If this is the case, then Israel broke it first by continuing to attack Lebanon well after the ceasefire started (meaning they can't blame battlefield chaos). Or B: it applies *solely* to the three mentioned countries' hostilities towards one another and does *not* prohibit them from attacking third parties, in which case Iran can't be called out for this.

TalkersCZ Apr 8, 2026 +5
At the same time, both (all three) sides might have different perspective on it. :)

According to Iran, it's included. It's part of their agreement to open the strait.  "Here is the 10-point plan, according to an Iranian state broadcaster: Complete cessation of the war on Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen Complete and permanent cessation of the war on Iran with no time limit Ending all conflicts in the region in their entirety Reopening the Strait of Hormuz Establishing a protocol and conditions to ensure freedom and security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz Full payment of compensation for reconstruction costs to Iran Full commitment to lifting sanctions on Iran Release of Iranian funds and frozen assets held by the United States Iran fully commits to not seeking possession of any nuclear weapons https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c5yw4g3z7qgt?post=asset%3Ab579a9d1-7337-4567-a81f-4335b3479f35

The IRGC is operating on their new Mosaic Defense command structure. A system that emphasizes decentralization and autonomy of local commanders. After a month of heavy losses within their communications network. It’s reasonable to assume that multiple field commanders of local units are acting independently either out of a lack of ability to communicate with Tehran and simply don’t know there’s supposed to be a ceasefire, or in newfound open defiance of it, believing they don’t have to listen to the central leadership.

This seems retaliation for the Lebanon bombings and killings that Israel committed just prior to this. They probably had these coordinates tee'd up for the instant Israel broke the ceasefire.

This is clearly an escalation on the war but based on yesterday's deal I'm assuming that the US will not respond.

Keeltoodeep Apr 8, 2026 +20
One drone hitting a single pump station is probably not enough for KSA to retaliate. Pump stations are relatively easy to fix.

Saudi intercepted 10 drones today according to the Minister of Defense, and 4 ballistic missiles last night and hundreds more drones the past few weeks. Saudi decided not to retaliate a while ago.

i live here and off the top of my head I can recall only 3 making contact with assets: riyadh embassy, Ras Tanoura facility and Jubail.

Just_the_nicest_guy Apr 8, 2026 +72
Markets are weird. It's not really about believing Trump's words, it's about believing the markets will react to Trump's words because they always have. Most players in the markets don't believe Trump but they know the markets react to what he says, so they trade on that expectation. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; most the herd that hear the alarm know it's a false alarm, but they know it'll move the herd so they move with it.

No one said any attack. Pumping stations and both ends of the pipeline are above ground.
47
azhillbilly Apr 8, 2026 +20
And unless it’s 100+ ft underground with hardened concrete walls and roof, it’s not really safe from any attack. If it’s only 20ft down, any kind of bomb can break it
20
Euler007 Apr 8, 2026 +10
Yeah but it's hard to target. If you're off by 100 ft you did nothing.

r2k-in-the-vortex Apr 8, 2026 +3
Hard to fix too if you have to dig it out first.

Euler007 Apr 8, 2026 +8
I mean digs is a very frequent job, they have their procedures and contractors in place. Transcanada does a bunch of digs every year, it's routine. Plus the bomb already did some of the work.
8
Codex_Dev Apr 8, 2026 +6
Not really. If that were the case, then Ukraine would be targeting Russia's gas/oil pipelines left and right. At most, you can knock them offline for a few weeks at best.

InterestingSpeaker Apr 9, 2026 +1
That's not true. Even penetrating 20 ft requires a bomb with penetrative ability. Not clear if any of Iran's ballistic missiles have that

azhillbilly Apr 9, 2026 +1
You don’t need to penetrate that much. You shake the ground enough, the pipe breaks.

Jim-be Apr 8, 2026 +2
What I read, the cease fire is between the US and Iran. It does not say Iran will stop attacking everyone else. Also the straight will be managed by the IRGC. So boat owners need to call them to go through it and hitting Arab and Isreal is still on. It’s everyone else that read into it assuming that it meant them too.
2
BestieJules Apr 8, 2026 +7
the ceasefire is over so no need to quote it. Israel broke ceasefire by attacking Lebanon killing 100 and injuring 800, Iran called it off and closed the straight.

It's only 2 inches thick? I always envisioned these things being like 4 feet wide.

0175931 Apr 8, 2026 +15
I think he is referring to the thickness of the pipe, not its diameter.
15
Leading_Ad_8619 Apr 8, 2026 +9
Which is confusing in the context. The thickness of the pipe has nothing (or very little) to do with how easy it is to hit

I am not a pipeline engineer.😜
1
thatoneabdlguy Apr 8, 2026 +1
I think "hit" in this context means damage or destroy- in which case, yes, thickness most assuredly matters. Using the width logic, being 4 ft wide or 2 in also has little to do with how easy it would be to put a drone or missile next to it. 46" isn't the difference between making contact and going unscathed from an explosive attack.
1
Own_Pop_9711 Apr 8, 2026 +3
What does being 200 miles long have to do with that calculation then?
3
thatoneabdlguy Apr 8, 2026 +4
Uhh... It's 200 miles long, so it'd be pretty easy to find an unsecured spot in 200 miles to attack. If it was 20 ft long, it'd be pretty easy to defend. But 200 miles, where damage at any point in the 200 miles would suffice versus hitting a specific point means it's easier. Which would be easier to get away with- shitting on your neighbor's driveway or dropping a deuce on an isolated stretch of highway?

> Peace is a death sentence to IRGC. Even more so now when they'll want to rebuild everything and may not have the money to do it. If this kind of ceasefire continues, the next months will be interesting. But I think they already anticipated all that and recently said they wanted to accelerate the executions. https://www.euronews.com/2026/04/08/tehran-accelerates-executions-of-political-prisoners-since-start-of-iran-war / https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/iran-war-2026-trump-deadline-latest-news/card/iran-chief-justice-looks-to-expedite-espionage-sentences-lTRvNXV6ERdvEEppllY6 > Iran Chief Justice Looks to Expedite Espionage Sentences > Tehran accelerates executions of political prisoners since start of Iran war It's possible they just keep killing political opponents and nothing changes.

Iran has been shooting at ships in Oman waters so far. I see no reason the future would be any different.
3
IntelArtiGen Apr 8, 2026 +2
Yeah I mean they both say things and I try to not pay too much attention because they both lie a lot. Trump also said he was going to get the uranium, Iran said the strait is open for all but enemies, in theory there is a ceasefire but we can see it's not really true. They both want to frame this as a victory and we'll see how it goes, I have some doubts they'll be able to charge $2m/ship forever in the strait but anyone is free to believe who they want. I consider most of what both are saying are lies so I don't believe any of them. When Trump has the uranium, I'll consider it's true. When Iran really gets this money over multiple weeks, I'll consider it's true. When this ceasefire is really applied, I'll consider the war is really over. Is the strait really open now? I'm not even sure. Meanwhile they can all say what they want.
2
LoneSnark Apr 8, 2026 +1
Indeed. Liars the lot of them. But Iran is closer to getting paid tolls than the US is to getting the Uranium. But the response to Iran shooting at ships is for Iran's ships to be shot at. So I think that is really more up to their neighbors than the US. So the whole toll idea may fall apart as you suggest in a matter of weeks.
