Ok, I’ll admit it.. Last weekend I was a bit of a panican when Trump announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz… Turns out that’s why he’s president and I’m not…. It took Iran less than a week to totally cave and open the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial traffic…. There are likely more talks with Iran this coming weekend and Trump may even fly to Pakistan to finalize the deal.
Of course, you can never trust those still in power in Iran, but still..
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.
