      Sure but do you think anyone would risk their lives based on Iran’s word? The strait is effectively closed and shut until orange clown declares his special operation complete.

        Yeah I do. Iran closed the strait and ships were told to go through anyway. Now they say it’s open to non hostile states- I think someone will be instructed to try to go through. edit: about 63 ships going to China and India have passed through, 1 going to Pakistan, ships from Greece have docked in Iran and will leave again.

          I cannot believe they consider Greek ships non hostile. Greece has been routinely backing Israel because they want it as a geopolitical rival to turkey

            Greece has one of the largest commercial fleets in the world. Likely the companies connected to these ships made a deal to be able to pass. It could depend on their destination (let’s say it’s Japan) as well.
