The US naval blockade against Iran which started on April 13th 2026 is now into its third day. Here is marinetraffic.com's live map (as at 9:15 pm 16th April 2026 local KL time) of the Iranian coastline along the Persian Gulf.
As you can see the entire Iranian coastline (highlighted in yellow) is now at a standstill. There is hardly any ship movement - certainly no movement of those gigantic oil tankers which used to carry away three million barrels of Iranian oil every day.
No one pondered this move by the Americans (and the Israelis). Certainly not the Iranian regime. And it appears that there will be more surprises.
Here is the Dow Jones. It has shot up from 47,600 points on 13th April to 48,463 yesterday 15th April 2026. There is more upside coming.
