$2M/ship is $1/barrel for VLCCs, but it's a lot more for smaller ships. Practically, nobody will use a ship smaller than a VLCC with the toolbooth.

VLCCs are already 2/3 the oil traffic, but yeah, rough day to be a small ship with cheap cargo.
Israel is already breaking the ceasefire conditions. Ref: "Netanyahu: Ceasefire doesn’t cover Lebanon" https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-cease...
Israel violated the 2024 ceasefire over 10,000 times [0], not counting all the ones since Feb. 28. I guess this time they're not satisfied with having only 50 "freebies" a day.

Have Israel ever respected a ceasefire?
Has Hamas or Hezbollah?
You seem to be implying Israel is no better than a terrorist group.
Less times than Israel, and usually in response.

Israel has done more terrorism than Hamas.

why is that relevant? Israel is a nation state, the others are 'terrorist groups'. are they equivalent? your response seems to imply that.

Interesting.

They have a far better track record. The other side constantly lies and violates every rule.
Yes
Textbook whataboutism.
Ceasefire include removing Hizballa from Lebanon, but facts doesn't matter for terror supporters
Territorial expansion was probably always Israel's goal of this, with a bonus of weakening a regional rival.
In the 75 years of their existence it seems like they suck at expansion.

They should take a page from Indonesia’s book for example. Or turkey.

Indonesia?
Takeover of half of Papua New Guinea, now called irian Jaya. Transmigration, that is, moving Java people there and to Borneo (Kalimantan)in order to flood local populations with Malays.

But this did not make the news that much. Not that interesting I guess…

They’ll probably receive most if not all of Iran’s focus now.
Perhaps they'll pro-rate it by size.
Maybe they'll end up with a sliding scale fee based on ship size/capacity
