Is Donald aware that Iran can just drive oil tankers across the road and deliver the oil to russia and china via land and it only takes like 16 extra hours

You lost tranny

Takes way more money to ship the same amount of oil over land vs sea

Do you know how many fucking trucks it would take to replace a VLCC

Question:
can oil and natural gas be shipped to china via rivers trains at the same volume and cost as through blockaded sea ports
Answer:
No
>Massive Scale Mismatch: A single Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) can transport around 2 million barrels of oil, a volume that cannot be realistically replicated by land transport.
>Train Capacity: A typical freight train might carry 3,500 tons, whereas a single ship can carry tens of thousands of tons. It would require hundreds of trains to equal the volume of one tanker.
>Pipeline Limitations: While pipelines can move large volumes, they are fixed assets with limited capacity and are not flexible enough to fully replace sea lanes, which transport roughly 70% of global oil demand.
>Higher Costs: Shipping oil by rail is generally much more expensive than by sea, often costing 2-3 times more than moving it by pipeline or boat.
>Efficiency: Sea freight benefits from enormous economies of scale, making it the cheapest transport mode, while rail, though faster, has higher costs.
>Infrastructure Costs: Building new pipelines or expanding rail capacity requires substantial time and capital investment.
>Existing Alternatives: China has developed pipelines from Russia, Central Asia, and Myanmar to reduce its reliance on the Malacca Strait, but these cannot handle the same total volume of imports.

Is Iran aware we can bomb their land route bridges that link it to Russia and blow up their refineries and destroy their entire economy with one day of air strikes.

God I fucking hate Browns. They put Jewish hubris to shame.

keep in mind we're not using your piddling little lorries built to fit into magic roundabouts, these are roided out union-labor-free Mack Trucks driving 300mph on smooth Bin Laden-family highways, so maybe 3 or 4

Then why is Iran melting down about being unable to store any more oil
