Where Are We Now (Day 108)

By Mark Davidson on June 16, 2026 • ( 0 )

(16 June 2026) It is now 11 pm MST June 16, or, 5 AM GMT, June 17. The Strait has now been closed to normal traffic for 108 days. Though the peace deal, or MOU, is to be signed on Friday June 19, marinetraffic.com still shows no oil or cargo traffic yet going through the Strait.

We will still count the days of the closure until the Strait is re-opened. The days of closure are a measure of how much oil has been removed from global inventories (12 to 15 million barrels multiplied by however many days of the closure).

Where Are We Now

If we just witnessed the first phase of the Second Signpost, then we saw the second horseman starting to take away the peace of mind of the earth.

Southeast Asian countries are hurting the most right now, with people not being able to get to work, and not being able to cook their food. The draw-downs of oil global inventories has brought many more countries like Japan and some European countries to the precipice.

If the peace with Iran holds for a time, then the IRGC will use this time to restore munitions and possibly finish their plans as to the next phase of the war.

A Trap Will Be Set for the Second Signpost

If this peace deal keeps for awhile, then people’s perception will be that things are returning to normal.

But the situation is far from that. You still have a fully armed IRGC and Basij that still wants to cause economic chaos worldwide, and conquer the Muslim nations of the Middle East in order to bring out their Mahdi.

In other words, the destruction of Arab oil facilities and the IGC running out could happen in the future at any time; whenever the US military is deemed to not be a threat anymore by the IRGC. It would take the world by surprise.

Conclusion

We are not out of the woods yet.

What has happened so far, insofar as the Southeast Asian nations were affected so deleteriously, and global oil stocks were drawn down so severely, should alone tell us this is a special time and likely the Second Signpost.

Keep watch.
