"The Strait of Hormuz was supposed to end Trumpβs presidency. Iran blocked it. Oil spiked. Gas prices surged. The plan was simpleβ¦ crush the American worker with inflation until the political pressure forced a retreat.
But the trap inverted."(πππππππ)

Yes, the strait is open if Iran has an agreement with the receiving country.
The article makes out that this is cheating somehow. LOL. But in reality, a country such as Bangladesh is avoiding humanitarian disaster.
This means that Iran is operating outside the 'punishing sanctions' imposed by EU, and the astronomical insurance charged by Lloyds.
In reality, the sanctions boomeranged. And the insurance racket has been exposed as well, because even when the exhorbitant premium is paid, the crew won't attempt the suicide run, anyway. And even so, there are ships happily cruising through the strait.
