"With the end of the aggressors' threats and in the shadow of new procedures, the possibility of safe and sustainable passage through the strait will be provided," it added, without specifying the new procedures.
The answer is probably, if you follow new specific procedures for Iran they won't personally attack... maybe. However, whatever procedures they implement will likely be prevented by the US blockade so..... the strait likely isn't open.

The problem is that Iran doesn't have a functional command structure at the moment. Some parts of the government make announcements, hoping that other parts honor it.
They might. Or they might not.

Look, I hate Trump as much as most people, but he's not the only one lying constantly in this conflict. Iran has also been lying constantly too. For example, when Trump posted about how the US was meeting with Iranians for a ceasefire and Iran flat out said they weren't meeting so they weren't sure who the US was meeting with.... well... it turned out Iran was actually meeting with them at that point.
However, you can't really trust Trump either. Both sides lie frequently and in this case both sides are highly incentivized to lie because they want opposite things.

The biggest problem is that this fucks the US in many more ways than just that. Most of the cost of the war isn't going to be felt in the US, but India and Australia and Europe and Africa. The hit to US diplomacy will last for decades if this continues to the point where it creates a famine somewhere, and the painfully obvious lack of a plan means that it's almost certainly going to continue to that point.
Never mind that Trump has been trying to exit the war by simply declaring victory for weeks now. If leaks are to be believed, he just doesn't understand how Iran is still just refusing to knuckle under.

Anyone can lose a ship to an overwhelming number of close ranged anti-ship missiles. There's a finite amount of defensive fire you can have, and that can be saturated by hidden ground forces.
The US Navy is the best. But even the best have limits. And the USN is best when they pick the right fights to take.

When the two USN destroyers passed the strait, they needed extensive air cover including from helicopters to get through.

People love to use that example while failing to even understand how the US war games. The US strategically disadvantages itself to learn about vulnerabilities. US does not war game like North Korea getting flawless victories perpetually.
MC02 had the blue team significantly disadvantaged against asymmetrical attacks. They prepositioned blue ships at the red shore rather than standoff range. The red team was also commanded by a significantly senior and more experienced retired U.S. Marine 3-star general, Van Riper.
Van Riper got pissed off when they re-ran the exercise with less constraints on blue team.

MendicantBias06May 6, 2026

You are absolutely correct, they did also include more restraints on the Red team. Most notably on free play so they could test predetermined systems and operations. This is what Van Riper was most upset about and resigned.
As for your Hormuz question, Im curious what makes you think the U.S. cannot or does not. The navy just escorted ships through the strait again. First time since the tanker wars. IRGC, thus far, has shown no capability to hit US
warships. Similar to the Houthi’s last year. Could it happen? Sure. MC02 showed technologically dominant militaries can still be vulnerable to asymmetric saturation tactics, especially when constrained politically and doctrinally, and especially in littoral environments like the Persian Gulf.

The Controversial "Reset"
Rather than accepting the results, exercise controllers halted the simulation and "refloated" the sunken fleet, resuming as if the initial attack had never happened �. New constraints were then imposed on Van Riper's Red Team: he was ordered to keep his air defenses off, reveal the location of his forces, and accept a helicopter landing without resistance �. Van Riper viewed this as rigging the exercise to guarantee a Blue Force victory and resigned in protest, publicly denouncing the exercise as predetermined.

It’s not arrogance if it’s true. Say what you will the US is the undisputed conventional military power of the world. Now can we suppress insurgencies indefinitely? No nor should we keep trying. No conventional army can do that without insane brutality. But let’s take an example. Say the US wanted to completely halt global shipping tmmrw despite the negative effects that action would have on the US. Who would be able to stop them? Genuinely. Russia is bogged down in Ukraine, Iran provides 20% of the oil to China, Europes militaries are a fraction of their former strength so who would actually be able to stop them? The US has more air craft carriers than the world combined. They spend almost a trillion on defense every year. They have 3 of the top 5 airforces, 2 of the top 5 navies, bases across the globe to launch attacks from, old generation stealth bombers that radars STILL can’t hit as evidenced by midnight hammer. I mean they had planes taking out Chinese provided anti aircraft in Venezuela and that wasn’t even the latest gen planes we have. That’s just insulting. Even outside of the shipping scenario, In a conventional fight of the US versus the entire world at once, I don’t think they could win because of the population discrepancies, but the fact that there is a chance they could is absolutely insane.

These are two separate things. A US naval vessel being able to defend itself versus opening a larger body of water. If the US extended protections to the entire straight this favours Iran due to the economics of using conventional weapons against c**** drones and missiles. Iran can claim they are not attacking the US (rather foreign flagged ships) while costing the US massive amounts of money. That's a perfect situation for Iran.

At this point the Trump regime and whatever is currenlty the iranian regime after assinations have become business partners in the business of oil future manipulation. Trump his cronnies are making good money, they are making good money and "somebody" is collecting 1M per ship. In Alberta and Texas they are dancing on the streets that oil is booming again and China is petting themselves on the back for installling so much solar and build so many EV's. So everybody is happy. (except for people with a ICE vehicle)
Those "business" man are loving it, so get used to this becoming the new normal till the oil future market completely stops reacting to their manipulation. As everybody catches on to the patterns, their profits deminshe as other traders also put in the same trades as them. Eventually this cancels everything out and the scheme stops working.
We will see how far it will go. I could see Trump desperately tweeting that a nuclear bomber is on it's way to explode all iranian oil or something. That might be the last time the market moves on it.
After that I think Trump will go back to pretending to invade Greenland and he is also planning to blackmail and extort all of Cuba. But for now these oil future markets are making them billions of dollars every week.

uhhhh.... that statement isn't the most clear. Also, both Iran and the US are blockading the strait for different reasons. I'd imagine Iran is saying if you follow procedures we lay out we won't attack and it's open but the US is basically saying not to follow Iran's procedures. This is why both sides keep declaring that they have a deal on the table but neither deal looks similar to the other.

Any ship that leave the Strait is probably not coming back. If you think just opening the Strait for traffic is going to solve anything, I have bad news for you. Even to this day, ships are still avoiding the Suez due to the Houthis. And even if ships enter the Strait, their insurance premium is going to be so high that it'll most likely affect the oil prices anyway.

Ships have been able to pass through with the agreement of the IRGC since almost the start of this, so its nothing new. Ships have to get permission, pay a certain fee and pass really close to the IRGC base on the Iranian side of the strait.
If they reopen the TSS which used to be used before the war (which Iran mined) and those 800 or so ships can pass through it... that would be a big change.

For what? Another 5 minutes, until the next spokesperson or colonel in the IRGC says or does otherwise?

IRGC want to control which ships passes through as long as they pay their toll (up to 2 million USD).
I imagine they are desperate because the US was able to allow a few ships to pass through the strait while IRGC lost 6 or 7 of their attack boats. The IRGC wants to keep their best card in this war in their hands, and it seems like it keeps slipping from their hands.

Why did the strait get closed to begin with? Maybe we shouldn't have started bombing them in the first place.

Itan just trolling USA. They embarrassed them by letting 'operation freedom' fail and then just open the straight as a power move. I hate the regime, but they're playing USA for chumps.

IRGC stands for Islamic Revolutionary Gaurds Corps, the i does not stand for Iran. There is nothing Iranian about this corporation as they have repeatedly shown to prefer Hezbollah and Hamas over lives of Iranians. Media intentionally ignore this since it fits their narrative much hetter

I'm not entirely sure the IRGC is even in control of their own people anymore....

I feel like I need to ver headlines with “how does this claim impact the stock market”. I feel lies are told to keep stocks higher.

How incredibly generous of them to temporarily grant the world permission to use international waters.

The Straits is partitioned between the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. There are no international waters in the strait. Leaving the persian gulf almost necessarily involves passing through Iranian waters for deep-draft ships Like full oil tankers.

Can we maintain status.hormuz.com? IRGC and Trump can have admin access to update the status there.

This reads as good news so that means something bad is going to happen to stop the strait from opening again
