## Resource

Trump called it a total naval blockade. Total control of Iran’s coastline. Everything in. Everything out. Stopped.So why is Iran’s oil still moving.In this video we break down the genius strategy Iran is using to bypass America’s blockade. From coastal corridors that international law protects from US interdiction. To a port outside the blockade geography entirely. To six overland routes through Pakistan that Washington wasn’t even consulted on.We also look at who this war of attrition actually favours. Because suffering the most and losing are not the same thing. And the side that reaches its political breaking point first is the side that loses. Regardless of who has the bigger navy.Sources used: Windward Maritime AI Platform, Vortexa, Lloyd’s List, Al Jazeera, The National, Financial Times, Wikipedia 2026 Iran War and Blockade articles, Pakistan Ministry of Commerce Transit Order 2026, Wall Street Journal.
