With oil backing up at home, Iran is reviving derelict sites known as “junk storage,” using improvised containers and trying to ship crude by rail to China.

Iran hopes to avoid the risk of having to turn off the spigots and deepen its revenue losses, said Sanam Vakil, Middle East and North Africa program director at Chatham House, a nonpartisan London think tank.
“The shutdown will add pressure and motivate the negotiations,” Vakil said.
Iran kjenner samme presset som de har brukt mot nabolandene sine.
Det interessant er forhandlingsutspillet til Iran:

Iran’s latest offer envisions a three-stage peace plan
-
with the first requiring the U.S. and Israel to end the war on Iran and provide guarantees not to start it up again, the officials said.
-
mediators would then resolve the closure of the strait and help reach an agreement for the management of the critical waterway, the officials said. Iranian officials told mediators that Tehran still aims to have the strait under its control,
-
and only then it would start negotiations on its nuclear program and other issues such as its funding to proxies in the region, the officials said.
… mao, Irans forslag er at alt press på dem til å komme til en enighet i forhandlingene skal bort først, så skal de forhandle?
Analysts debate how long it will take Iran to hit “tank tops”—industry parlance for running out of room to store the crude it pumps—but many think it could happen in less than two weeks.
Med det i tankene, så vil jeg tro Trump vil vente i hvert fall et par uker til. Evt se om Iran biter på evt forslag fra USA eller at Iran kommer med et bedre “tilbud”.
