Strait of Hormuz: A Citrini Field Trip

2 days ago

CitriniResearch sent Analyst #3 on a field trip to the Strait of Hormuz to gain first-hand insights during a geopolitical crisis, defying official warnings and risking detention.
The mission aimed to clarify the confusing situation for investment purposes, as traditional sources like satellite imagery and AIS data were incomplete or stale.
Analyst #3 equipped with $15,000 cash, recording gear, and language skills, signed a pledge in Oman against info gathering but proceeded covertly onto a speedboat near Iranian waters.
He observed Shahed drones and Iranian patrol boats, was intercepted by Coast Guard, detained, and had his phone confiscated, but later debriefed findings from memory.
