I dont understand, are they just threatening to attack ships that travel through? Because its said they dont have a navy to enforce restrictions, right?

They couldn’t even protect ships adequately from the houthis. Now they’ve kicked up the entire hornets nest and are like “we’re good bro. Go thru, it’ll be fine”.

The US will likely block those ships.

Gulf countries can reroute a shit ton of capacity to the red sea. As long as Suez remains open, there is a Houthi and Iran free way for some* of the oil to flow.

This is not the modern warfare I was sold on the PlayStation.

Iran is actually playing it smarter than Trump. And I’m not surprised at all. This (let’s not call it) war looks to be seen as the grandfather of all miscalculations, on par with Germany invading Russia or declaring war on the US in WWII.

It doesn’t even matter. Iran would have to stop completely or no insurance is going to be provided. Which means no ships

Iran does not have the power to do this. Insurance companies do

That’s interesting paperwork for a military command.

Doesn’t matter.
The refineries have been taken offline by strikes.
So even if they can, and insurance currently says they can’t, but even if they could open. The products just aren’t being refined. The fertiliser and the world’s largest Aluminium plants are offline. World larger refinery is offline.
This shit show runs deep and will be felt for years

Sure, they’re going to be be able to identify between friend and foe. lol. Iran basically just said “Come on in it’s completely open because we don’t have the ability to differentiate between a commerce ship broadcasting a friendly nation and a warship doing the same. Not to mention with increase traffic means it’s easy for a warship to slip in while in river city.

Iranian army is completely fractured… With all the communication issues and localized cells, it be impossible for them to enforce this agreement.

Whats to stop the other ships from just piggy backing

Looks like ships are approaching the Strait on Marine Traffic.

So not safe. Got it.

Extorting the whole world while having barely any Navy, air force or defense is certainly a bluff

Did we just voluntarily pull pur diplomats drom saudi arabia?

I don’t think that’s how it works. It’s convincing the insurance companies of safe passage not the company or crew.

It’s 4d chess.
One country will accept… And Trump will prevent that country from using the passage.
Then it’s not only Iran blinking it, but also Trump

Iran poking the hornet’s nest.

What really happened was Iran has lost its means to enforce a blockade.

So they’re saying they’re going to identify the ship passing through and its registration country before deciding to fire on it or not? Nobody is going to trust them on this.

If we have destroyed their navy and own the skies, what exactly is choking the straight of Hormuz? Not sure I understand.
