AND this whole exercise has been about the fly in the Ointment so to speak, which is Israel!!!!!!!! PDJT is looking far enough ahead but NOT going over his SKIS so to speak!!!!! He is drawing Israel out and when that happens...I do believe some VERY NASTY SURPRISES AWAIT THE ISRAELIS in some form or fashion!!!!
The Iranians have already made it public several days ago that all Pakistani vessels can go through. (This was also extended to Iraqi vessels.). Trump says in the video the vessels were Pakistani flagged.
So if Trump says it was a gift... Well somebody is pulling someone's leg.
"About 90 vessels, including oil tankers, have crossed the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, despite the waterway being effectively shut. Oil exports continue, with millions of barrels still moving through the corridor, according to AP News.
A large share of these crossings are “dark” transits—ships evading Western monitoring and sanctions, many linked to Iran. More recently, vessels tied to India and Pakistan have also passed amid ongoing negotiations.
Since early March, Iran has exported over 16 million barrels of oil. With Western markets restricted, China remains the primary buyer.
🚫 🇮🇷 Iran grants limited access to Strait of Hormuz
At least eight vessels — including oil tankers and bulk carriers from India, Pakistan, and Greece — used Iranian waters to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the FT reports.
⛴ All the ships reportedly used an unusual route around Larak Island, off the coast of Iran, to navigate the strait.
Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route, shortly after the start of US–Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic in late February.

🇮🇷 Some marine traffic is passing through the Strait of Hormuz, however ships are routing through the “Iranian toll booth” set up between Qeshm and Larak islands.
🇮🇷🇬🇷 First Ship Transits the Strait of Hormuz in Nearly Three Weeks
The Greek-owned bulk carrier Giacometti has become the first vessel to transit the Strait of Hormuz with its AIS transponder active since March 2, nearly three weeks into the closure.
The ship transited around Larak Island on March 20, according to Lloyd's List Intelligence and Seasearcher tracking data.
ℹ️ Note that Lloyd’s List has already reported multiple ships using the new route Iran set up, where they undergo Iranian inspection and are then allowed to continue. The Greek vessel appears to be the first to make the transit with its transponder turned on.
🇮🇷 Iran has established a safe transit corridor through the Strait of Hormuz.
At least nine vessels have already passed, routed near Larak Island for visual inspection by IRGC naval forces and port authorities, according to Lloyd’s List, a maritime intelligence outlet.
This aligns with broader reports that Tehran is selectively allowing ships through while maintaining effective control over the strait and restricting wider traffic.
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz:
"The Strait of Hormuz is open. It is only closed to tankers and ships belonging to our enemies — to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass."
He acknowledged that many ships are choosing not to transit anyway due to security concerns, but, "That has nothing to do with us."
The Strait remains open to the world. It is closed to America and Israel.
If you think about misdirection during wartime to keep the enemy unstable... Trump may be purposely throwing chaos into the Iranian leaders.
Iran allowed 8 or 10 oil tankers to go through the Straight of Hormuz untouched because they flew the Pakistani flag.
There might never have been any agreement between the U.S. and anyone in the Iranian leadership to allow those ships through. They let them through because they were Pakistani ships.
However, now Trump has "proof" that he has been negotiating secretly with various Iranian leaders... because "they allowed those 8 or 10 ships to go through".
Now Iran has to figure out which of their leaders gave that order? Is Iran going to allow ANY more ships to go through under ANY flag... because they won't know who negotiated that ship passage with the U.S. or Israel?
Basically... cause chaos and infighting within the Iranian government... and use their own actions to supply proof of secret negotiations going on.
I used to work for a container shipping company, and I had a boss that used to say - whenever someone called one of our ships a boat - "It's a ship, not a boat! You can fit a boat on a ship, but you can't fit a ship on a boat." Ah, memories.
I'm going to take a contrarian position here and say that I believe Israel, not Iran, is the real target of this war.

That was third on my list. Kharg island was first, but we will just take it and keep it.
Just another reason why all these talking heads talking about how Trump made a big mistake and how this is gonna end the U.S. of A. are full of shit.
🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just revealed the present Iran's leaders gifted him was 8 boats of OIL through the Strait of Hormuz!
"Then they apologized for something, and SENT 2 MORE BOATS. It was 10 boats!"
"I said, well, I guess they were right, they were real! I think they were Pakistani-flagged. I said, well, we're dealing with the right people!"
"They said: to show you we're real, we'll let you have 8 big boats of oil."
Wow!

Vessel?
Vessel works too, I guess 🙂 but what Trump said reminded me of my old boss.
Should have been 17!
Waiting for msm to figure out how they will spin this.😂

Inspect the cargo, while well offshore.
I would hope the Marines are sweeping them as we speak,lots of little nooks and cranny's .
