I believe this is the section within their territorial waters only. ( around the small barrier island where they were trying to direct all traffic to collect passage fees)

THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE, BUT THE NAVAL BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY IN THAT MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY NEGOTIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! PRESIDENT DONALD J.TRUMP
Like they get to decide anything. What IS this shit, anyway? What happened to the age-old maxim "To the victor go the spoils of war"?
The utterly vanquished regime with no air force, no army, no navy, no missile defense, no military industrial capacity, and no friendly countries rushing to their aid is the one that gets to dictate terms and decide if things are open or closed?
Methinks that Iran (and others) may have finally realized that President Trump is NOT like past Presidents. He says what he means, and he means what he says. No games. No shit.
What a relief - It's like the adult has finally entered the room, took names, and is fixing the mess.
To me it sounds like Iran is still playing games and not "negotiating" seriously., which is their M.O. Are they really in a position to make such an announcement?
Silver just jumped from 79 to 82.
On this news?
I would assume so, i would need the exact time it was announced,to confirm. But it has been moving up with the war ending.
All of the Markets jumped this morning..
Probably..
Strait of Iran?
Was that part of the deal?
Good question. Maybe it'll come up in the press gaggle.
Gaggle is such a good word. They are all a bunch of turkeys!
Got it from u/joys1daughter.
She is the BEST!
You, too MAGA! π½
I got it from The White House..π
Classic Trump move to get attention. They'll laugh while they choke on the message.

Fully and completely open, except it'll still be blockaded. That's a hefty disclaimer.
True, but just China is blocked. Ahem, I mean, just Iran is blocked.
"AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY,"
No extorting ships for Bitcoin
Yeah, but that was the original blockade too.
Thank you for the additional sauce fren!
Here is some more from TGP.

Sure. Tell us another one.
5th gen, come on are you serious? Trump is playing them like he always plays people.
Someone say 5th Gen?

Gulf of America is taken, but my sources say Straight of America has not been used yet. So you raise a very good point!
All I know is that gas prices should be $0.50 cheaper on my way home because they sure don't hesitate to raise them when it's bad news....

Umm, huh... This was sarcasm. Apparently you missed it...
As was the quote from another poster that I used.
Xi probably told them to quit
Cause Xi need oil.
Panicans in shambles.

He sold them the naming rights? Sweet move...
Renaming something else?

Uh... yeah okay... whatever...I guess...
What is the "Strait of Iran" exactly?
A new designation for the Strait of Hormuz? Or something else? Clarification required.
What changed - EXACTLY?
Because yesterday, ALL ships were already free to travel THROUGH the Strait of Hormuz, unimpeded - they just can't go to/from any port in Iran.
So... what EXACTLY are we "celebrating" here???
u/#wtf
Strait of Iran?
Since when is it the Strait of Iran, when 1/2 of that waterway is owned by the UAE?
Ought to call it the Eastern Abrahamic Gulf and the other one the western abrahamic gulf and call it a day
Imagine that on the 17th no less.
I hope President Trump tells the Navy to continue removing all the explosive sea mines.
Very interesting headline.
It's either a lie, or a trap for israel
