@TerribleMaps A Ship carries aprox 2 million barrels of oil

100-150 Ships pass through usually

A truck can carry around 250 barrels

So with simple maths, you can calculate that you need around 100,000 trucks a day to do the same job.

Common Sense…

⚡️ What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions are force-multiplier weapons: a single ballistic missile ejects 50–300+ bomblets that descend over expansive areas, unleashing a storm of explosions to obliterate dispersed infantry, convoys, parked aircraft, or runways—providing devastating coverage and lethality no unitary warhead can equal for broad, soft targets.

Their greatest edge: unparalleled area saturation, rapid shock-and-awe effect, and the ability to cripple large formations or bases in one volley.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war (sparked by Feb 28 strikes that killed Khamenei), Iran employs them for intense retaliatory barrages. IDF confirms 6+ cluster-warhead launches: March 1 turned central Israel’s night sky into a dazzling trail of falling bomblets (captured on countless phones), March 3 strike near Tel Aviv injured 12.

⚡️ What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions are precision area-denial weapons: a ballistic missile deploys 50–300+ bomblets mid-flight, blanketing huge swaths with explosive payloads to devastate spread-out troop concentrations, armored convoys, or airfields—offering unmatched destructive reach and efficiency against dispersed or mobile targets.

Their primary strength: rapid, overwhelming saturation that saturates defenses, delivers instant shock, and denies large zones in one strike.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war (ignited by Feb 28 strikes killing Khamenei), Iran uses them for maximum psychological and retaliatory effect. IDF verifies 6+ cluster-warhead launches: March 1 barrage turned central Israel skies into a streaking light show (widely filmed), March 3 strike near Tel Aviv injured 12.

⚡️What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions are devastating area-saturation weapons: one missile releases 50–250+ bomblets that cascade over huge zones, shredding dispersed troops, vehicle formations, and runways with unmatched density and speed—delivering firepower no single warhead can match for large, spread targets.

Their standout power: blanket coverage, instant shock value, and defense-overwhelming dispersal that turns open battlefields or airfields into kill zones in seconds.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war (launched by Feb 28 strikes killing Khamenei), Iran fires them as high-shock retaliation. IDF confirms 6+ cluster-warhead missiles: March 1 barrage filled central Israel skies with streaking bomblets (caught on video), March 3 near Tel Aviv left 12 injured.

What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions are advanced area-effect weapons: a single missile or bomb opens in flight to release dozens (often 50–200+) of smaller bomblets that rain down over vast zones, delivering unmatched saturation against spread-out forces, armor columns, or airfields—outperforming conventional warheads for rapid, broad disruption.

Their key advantage: massive coverage and psychological shock from dispersed explosions, overwhelming air defenses and creating instant chaos across large targets.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war (sparked by Feb 28 strikes killing Khamenei), Iran deploys them for high-impact retaliation. IDF confirms 6+ cluster-warhead missile launches: March 1 saw central Israel skies filled with streaking bomblets on viral video, March 3 near Tel Aviv caused 12 injuries.

What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions are missiles that burst mid-air to scatter dozens of smaller bomblets across wide areas, excelling at saturating troops, vehicle convoys, or runways with rapid, high-volume explosive coverage—far more effectively than single warheads for area targets in certain scenarios.

Their core strength: overwhelming defenses through sheer dispersal and immediate shock, creating instant disruption and denial over large zones.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war (triggered by Feb 28 strikes killing Khamenei), Iran has used them repeatedly for retaliation and psychological impact. IDF confirms 6+ cluster-warhead launches: March 1 barrage lit central Israel skies (bomblets filmed streaking), March 3 near Tel Aviv wounded 12.

What are Cluster Bombs ?

Cluster munitions excel at saturating wide areas with explosive bomblets, delivering rapid, high-volume coverage against dispersed troops, vehicle convoys, or runways—far more efficiently than single large warheads in certain scenarios. Their strength lies in area denial and shock effect: one missile can scatter dozens of submunitions, overwhelming defenses and causing widespread immediate disruption.

In this 2026 war, Iran leverages them for psychological impact and retaliation, targeting Israeli urban/military zones despite high dud rates (10–40%) that create lasting civilian hazards. IDF confirms 6+ launches since Feb 28 Khamenei strike: March 1 central Israel barrage (bomblets filmed streaking sky), March 3 near Tel Aviv (12 wounded).

What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions, known as cluster bombs, are delivered by aircraft or missiles and scatter dozens to hundreds of bomblets over wide areas to hit troops, vehicles, or runways. Failure rates of 10–40% leave many bomblets unexploded, creating persistent mine-like dangers for civilians long after the fighting ends.

Banned under the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions (over 110 parties), but not signed by Iran, Israel, or the United States.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war, triggered by U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28 that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles with cluster warheads at Israel. The IDF has confirmed multiple incidents, including a March 1 attack spreading submunitions across central Israel (videos captured bomblets streaking the sky) and a March 3 strike near Tel Aviv that wounded 12 people. At least six such missiles have been fired so far, following use in the 2025 twelve-day war. Israel denounces them as indiscriminate attacks endangering civilian populations.

What are Cluster Bombs??

Cluster munitions, also widely referred to as cluster bombs, are weapons fired from aircraft, artillery, or ballistic missiles that release dozens to hundreds of smaller submunitions mid-air, covering large zones to target soldiers, vehicles, runways, or other assets. Many submunitions fail to explode upon impact, with dud rates commonly between 10% and 40%, leaving behind dangerous unexploded ordnance that functions like antipersonnel mines and continues to threaten civilians long after fighting stops.

The 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibits their use, stockpiling, and transfer for the more than 110 countries that have ratified it, but Iran, Israel, and the United States are not parties to the treaty and maintain inventories of these weapons.

During the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war, which erupted after U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28 killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran has launched multiple ballistic missiles carrying cluster warheads toward Israel. The Israel Defense Forces have verified several of these attacks since the conflict started, including one on March 1 that spread submunitions over parts of central Israel, with many videos showing trails of bomblets lighting up the sky, and another on March 3 near Tel Aviv that caused injuries to 12 people. At least six such cluster-equipped missiles have been fired to date, following Iran's previous employment of cluster munitions in the 2025 twelve-day conflict. Israeli sources have described these strikes as indiscriminate and posing unacceptable risks to civilian areas.

What are #ClusterBombs?

Cluster munitions—better known as cluster bombs—are aerial bombs, rockets, or ballistic missiles that dispense 20 to several hundred smaller bomblets mid-flight, blanketing expansive areas to neutralize military personnel, light armor, or infrastructure targets like airports. Disturbingly, failure-to-detonate rates often range from 5–40% depending on model and conditions, leaving behind volatile, long-persisting submunitions that act as de facto anti-personnel landmines and endanger civilians, aid workers, and returning populations for decades.

Outlawed for states party to the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions (ratified by over 110 countries), the treaty is not binding on non-signatories Iran, Israel, or the United States, all of which retain stockpiles and have used or are accused of using the weapon in recent conflicts.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war—sparked by the February 28 U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—Iran has launched several ballistic missiles armed with cluster warheads against Israeli territory. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) statements and open-source intelligence have confirmed at least six such attacks since the war began, including a March 1 barrage that scattered submunitions over central Israel (extensive civilian video footage showed glowing trails of bomblets falling across the sky) and a March 3 cluster strike near Tel Aviv that resulted in 12 reported injuries. This continues Iran’s established pattern of cluster-munition employment, first seen prominently during the 2025 “12-day war.” Israeli officials have repeatedly described these attacks as indiscriminate, disproportionate, and in clear breach of international humanitarian law standards due to the high risk they pose to civilian life in populated areas.

What are Cluster Bombs?

Cluster munitions, popularly known as cluster bombs, are munitions delivered via aircraft, rockets, or ballistic missiles that release scores to hundreds of submunitions (bomblets) in flight, saturating large areas to destroy personnel, soft-skinned vehicles, or hardened targets such as runways. Alarmingly high failure rates—often 10–30% or more—leave many bomblets unexploded, creating persistent de facto anti-personnel mines that pose grave, long-term risks to civilians in post-conflict environments.

Prohibited by the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions (with more than 110 state parties), although Iran, Israel, and the United States remain non-signatories and continue to possess and employ the weapon.

In the escalating 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war—set off by the February 28 joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—Iran has repeatedly employed ballistic missiles equipped with cluster warheads against targets inside Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have documented and publicly confirmed several such launches since hostilities commenced, notably a March 1 attack dispersing submunitions across central Israel (caught on widespread cellphone footage showing bright streaks of falling bomblets) and a March 3 strike in the greater Tel Aviv area that injured 12 individuals. At least six cluster-munition ballistic missile firings have been verified to date, extending Iran’s earlier documented use of the same munition type during the 2025 “12-day war.” Israeli leadership has characterized these attacks as indiscriminate and in violation of the laws of war due to their targeting of or heavy risk to densely populated civilian zones. #IranIsraelWar #ClusterMunitions #IsraelUnderFire

What are Cluster Bombs?
Cluster munitions—commonly known as cluster bombs—are explosive devices launched from aircraft or missiles that burst open in mid-air, scattering dozens to hundreds of smaller submunitions (often called bomblets) across broad target zones to engage infantry, vehicles, or airfield surfaces. A troubling percentage of these submunitions routinely fail to explode on contact (dud rates can climb to 30% or higher), functioning as long-lasting, civilian-hazardous landmines that continue to maim and kill years after conflicts end.

The weapons have been outlawed since 2008 by the Convention on Cluster Munitions, a treaty joined by more than 110 nations—though conspicuously absent from the signatories are Iran, Israel, and the United States.

In the 2026 Iran–Israel–United States war—triggered on February 28 by joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—Iran has fired multiple ballistic missiles carrying cluster warheads directly at Israeli population centers. The Israel Defense Forces have repeatedly confirmed these attacks since the opening days of the conflict, including a widely video-recorded March 1 strike over central Israel (witnesses and footage captured bomblets descending in bright trails across the sky) and a March 3 cluster attack near Tel Aviv that wounded at least 12 civilians. At least six confirmed cluster-munition missile launches have occurred so far, continuing a pattern Iran established during the short but intense 2025 “12-day war.” Israeli authorities have labeled the use of cluster warheads in these strikes as blatant violations of international humanitarian law and deliberate endangerment of civilian lives.

What are Cluster Munitions ?
Cluster munitions, often called cluster bombs, are air-dropped or missile-launched ordnance that open mid-air to scatter anywhere from 20 to several hundred smaller bomblets over wide areas, designed to strike troop concentrations, armored columns, or runways. Many of these bomblets do not detonate on impact (failure rates frequently as high as 30%), turning them into de facto landmines that endanger civilians and hamper reconstruction for years or decades.

Banned under the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, which has been ratified by over 110 countries—but notably not by Iran, Israel, or the United States.

Amid the 2026 Iran–Israel–USA war, ignited by the February 28 U.S.-Israeli airstrikes that eliminated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Iran has carried out multiple launches of ballistic missiles armed with cluster warheads targeting Israeli territory. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed several such attacks since the conflict erupted, among them a March 1 strike dispersing submunitions over central Israel (captured on numerous civilian videos showing bomblets trailing across the night sky) and a March 3 attack in the vicinity of Tel Aviv that left 12 people injured. A minimum of six cluster-warhead missiles have been documented to date, building on Iran’s prior use of the weapon during the brief 2025 “12-day war.” Israel has strongly condemned the strikes as unlawful area-saturation attacks deliberately endangering civilian population centers.

[Global Insight @policyveil]

Cluster munitions, commonly referred to as cluster bombs, are weapons delivered by aircraft or missiles that release dozens to over a hundred smaller submunitions (bomblets) during flight, blanketing large areas to target personnel, armored vehicles, or infrastructure like airfields. A significant proportion of these bomblets often fail to detonate (dud rates sometimes reaching 30%), leaving behind persistent, mine-like dangers that threaten civilians long after hostilities end.

These weapons are banned under the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, though key countries including Iran, Israel, and the United States have not joined the treaty.

In the ongoing 2026 Iran–Israel–USA conflict — sparked by U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28 that killed Supreme Leader Khamenei — Iran has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles fitted with cluster warheads against Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have verified multiple instances since the war began, including a March 1 barrage over central Israel (with submunitions visible streaking across the sky in widespread videos) and another incident near Tel Aviv on March 3 that injured 12 people. Reports indicate at least six such cluster-equipped missiles have been fired so far, following earlier employment during the 2025 "12-day war." Israeli officials have denounced the attacks as indiscriminate strikes on civilian-populated regions.
