Do we have a sense for many missiles they fired in total. It’d be useful to get a sense for what Iran’s current rate of attack looks like. I suspect recovery of strike capacity since last week but it’d be nice to know by how much with a quantifiable figure, even if a rough one.

The point is that the insurance companies can cancel coverage when the situation spirals out of control like they did for this war. So if a ceasefire is established and holds for a while it is much more likely they will start offering insurance subject to cancellation if the war starts up again than simply refusing all insurance there forever. That insurance might be priced significantly higher but the insurance companies will probably calculate that it is unlikely Iran goes crazy and suddenly without any warning sinks a dozen tankers on a random day or something. This is insurance, their whole business is the pricing of uncertain risks, so sure that scenario is possible but it seems pretty unlikely and the reality is they already went through this after the 12 day war and they weren't burned then.
Yes but those were unordinary and exceptional times . That can’t be held as a normal mode of things , neither is it sustainable as such. Germany for example can match and even surpass Russias military production if they really decided to go on beast mode. But today’s world is different. I agree that the US international world order actually made countries to tone down on military field and focus more on economic development. But we should make no mistake as well, there are countries who can more than triple and even quadruple their current military production if pushed against the wall. We haven’t gotten to that point yet.
Wait till these colonial settlers realise nothing strategically happened to even Hamas in 2 years...

Sad to say this, but Iran brought this current conflict on itself. Had it responded as forcefully as it currently is responding to the assassination of Suleimani or to the 12 day war last year, Trump would not have ordered the go-ahead on the military option. It's clear that Trump mistook Iran's previous restraint for weakness. Many on here have said this at the time, and the current conflict is only further proving the point.
Nope, over the course of history, warfare was constant, military spending was always atleast 10% of GDP and massive destruction of entire nations and massive genocide of entire people was common. The last few decades was the anomaly cause no country has ever attained the level of dominance over the whole world that US had after cold war. This caused unprecendented level of peace cause everyone bowed down to US.
Now times are going back to normal.
The more you post, the more I am sure that you are living in your own alternate universe. How can countries with governments with 10-20% support ratings "triple or quadruple" their military production, shifting the resources from the civil economy, without a mass revolt right away?
I remember you were saying the same thing during Syria conflict until the last minute Assad fell . lol
Same with Hezbollah at the start of the first war a year ago, but we saw the result of how Hezbollah has been greatly weakened since then . I remember how people were claiming how invincible Hezbollah was and how they had thousands of missiles ready to go at Israel and how they can raze Israel to the ground if ISEAEL dared attack them. Same with Iran , in fact I can’t count the number of times I heard people saying how great and powerful Iran was and how Israel and the US will never dare touch Irans territory, since if they ever dared then Iran has tens of thousands of ballistic missiles and technology ready to level to the ground Israel an US military forces . lol Old boy, how they were proven wrong . That’s the thing with propaganda , it makes people to start believing in fallacies and make them make strategic mistakes

How's THAAD and PAVE PAWS doing?
The cost will immediately be passed on to consumers, the shipping companies WI make a killing as well. Unlike the Bab-el-Mandeb, you can't go around Hormuz, so the only realistic way to truly shut it down is by hitting all ships (or at least all ships of a specific type, e.g. VLCCs). The risk can't just be elevated, it needs to be unacceptable regardless of any realistic sum of money.
