Where are you staying in Crete Dorfan?

I will be in Tenerife middle of May. Have a great time 88. One thing the weather will be good if we get stuck:)

And the effect of the blockade on the Iranian side?

Just saying his experience and the Iran internet link I posted not saying there aren't ways to get around it but in general there is very little coverage most of the time.

Currently at 3%ish well done for getting through though asi. My friend talks to his family and friends over there in Tehran but infrequently and can go days without getting through:)

Just to clarify the invention isn't new just the use they are putting it to.

Asi I was reading an article today about the Stirling engine and a Swedish company who use them with solar panels and other stuff it is in its infancy so not sure how commercial or practical but thought you might find it interesting.

They could always draw straws shortest ones gets it probably best way for them to decide with the dearth of talent they have within the party:)

That is very impressive especially as the markets were closed:)

Me too Dorfan happy to stay I think the wife is counting on it:)

Yes they have STP so a good thing. I just hope there is still some jet fuel left for the middle of May when I fly on holiday:)

Yes I don't believe the ceasefire was forced to be included as Israel at the time it was implemented was taking out a threatened coup by Hezbollah on Lebanon since then the Lebanese government and Israel are working together to remove the IRGC from Lebanon as well as Hezbollah. Hezbollah's threat has been greatly diminished whilst the work isn't finished it would have come to a natural conclusion anyway as Hezbollah are surrounded and there are still 5 divisions of the IDF there. Hardly a ceasefire in favour of Iran or Hezbollah.

Where in that article does it say the US has put forward new proposals? However it does say the US won't be blackmailed. See what happens Monday if anything. Lot of smoke and mirrors going on both sides.

You believe everything the SNSC says?

See what happens on Monday STP when they are allegedly meeting again.

Most of that will give some small relief. The Jask terminal is part of the blockade:)

Nothing to do with sanctions they have been selling their oil now they can't.

World economy will suffer but it will adapt how much is anyone's guess but if Iran can't sell their oil they are definitely screwed and they won't come back from it for decades if they have to shut in their wells.

If it drags on for months STP Iran's oil industry is screwed. It is 80% of their GDP. USA don't need to do anything but blockade their oil. Won't be long before they have to start shutting wells.

Gullible about what STP?

Two US Navy guided-missile destroyers have already sailed through the Strait of Hormuz since the ceasefire the US have been clearing the mines keep up troublesome:)

You read too much Iranian propaganda troublesome remember they have their home audience to play to. Don't forget they weren't negotiating all the time Trump said they were lo and behold they turn up at Islamabad and couldn't get a deal the US walked away:)
