I dunno what good switching off your AES is supposed to do when you're big enough to be seen by the naked eye from space.

Curious, can we really see these tankers with a naked eye on, say, the ISS?
No doubt they're visible in satellite imagery, but these have insane optics on them

The Iranians have imposed a blockade on Hormuz. Sailing an environmental catastrophe through there is not the brightest idea.

They try to sneak through the strait at night with all their lights and transponders turned off. Iran relies a lot on infrared and radar detection.

The tankers on fire sail near the coast side of the UAE and Oman. Which are not Iranian allies
