OPERATION ECONOMIC OUTCAST: Iran oil cargoes dry up even before US acts on Tehran threats; China’s ‘teapots’ face crunch.

Iran’s oil shipments to Asian buyers have nearly dried up, pushing the price of Iranian crude to its highest levels in years as US prepares to announce fresh measures aimed at isolating Tehran and those trading with it.

China’s private refiners, which have traditionally been the biggest buyers of Iranian oil, are now facing tighter supplies. Iranian crude that was previously sold at a discount to global benchmarks is being offered at a premium of about $4 a barrel, Bloomberg reported.

The traders, cited by the Bloomberg, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private, said the supply squeeze has intensified in recent weeks.

A major factor behind the shortage is the impact of US efforts to block Iranian oil shipments. Loaded Iranian tankers have been unable to leave the Persian Gulf, while empty vessels remain stranded outside the region.

Sanctions haven’t brought down the regime in 47 years, but they’ve also never been this tight, or more importantly, backed up with a naval blockage. So we’ll see.

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:  Theophany.

Ten years ago the Savients took over Niban, forcing the independent inhabitants into poverty and despair. Bass White saw the careless cruelty of the Savients kill his mother and his father. When a resistance cell is discovered in his city bloc, the Savients seek to make everyone pay.

With his wife Amie, Bass races into the caverns to escape the Savients’ brutal enforcers: the Atrasai. The couple barely make it to the limits of known territory outside their underground city, however, before the Atrasai catch up with them. It would take a miracle to save them…

…or a combat medic robot.

Join Bass and Amie in this sci-fi story of healing, hope, and wonder. After a decade of fear and pain, even a little light can bring out the best in man and machine. But will the best be enough to heal?
