Persian Gulf 5-day tanker disruption.

// The hypothesis

A non-state actor disrupts tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz for five working days.

8 countries affected · oil + wheat + insurance + lithium

// Modelled impact

Two-thirds of available OPEC+ spare capacity is mobilised by day three; the cushion does not recover for fourteen weeks. War-risk insurance premiums double within 36 hours.

Probability and severity are internal estimates on the v3.2 methodology. DEMO data, not for citation.
