i suspect that if the war stopped right now, israel would still collapse, or at least come very close;

• Maersk halts Haifa port operations citing Iranian missile risks, deepening Israel’s economic strain.
• Iran’s strikes disrupt 98% of Israel’s commerce, causing $200M daily economic bleed.
• Intel halts multi-billion semiconductor plant in Israel due to supply chain disruptions.
• Eilat Port cargo volume plummets 92% after blockades and attacks.
• Analysts propose repurposing stalled sites for military use while upholding international norms.

In the face of escalating Iranian missile strikes, Danish shipping giant Maersk has suspended operations at Haifa Port, Israel’s busiest maritime gateway, marking a severe blow to Israel’s already fragile economy. The June 20 announcement follows repeated attacks that have targeted critical infrastructure, including a major oil refinery and an Israeli port, exacerbating regional instability. With 98% of Israel’s trade conducted by sea, Haifa’s shutdown—coupled with similar disruptions at Ashdod and Eilat ports—threatens supply chains and fuels economic collapse. This crisis has also pushed Intel to halt construction of a multi-billion semiconductor plant, raising questions about the viability of Israeli investments amid conflict.
