It passed through Iran's toll booth not the normal shipping channel. This is an option more and more companies are taking. You know who is not getting out that way? The 5 US ships still stuck in the Persian gulf.

What if the US just creates a new toll booth behind the Iranian one?

The US could certainly blockade the strait from the gulf of Oman or the Indian ocean, but do far they have left even Iranian tankers go through unmolested and sell their oil to fund the war on their side. I think the US government is afraid of driving up prices or escalating things too far.

Love how it’s headline news when another tanker makes it through without being blown up. God we’re fucked.

And a tanker that paid the toll, no less.

It feels so weird the last few days with reports of '... ship passed through the Straight of Hormuz ..." like it is some sort of sign the passage is open. Normally over 100 ships would pass through that area each day. Roughly 5-7 are making it through daily now and that is almost assuredly only because they paid a toll to Iran. The flow is symbolic, not functional.

That’s a great achievement, thanks to Donald, we can now count on one hand the ships that pass through.

The price of diesel has doubled where I'm at, I was paying $100 a week before this war and now I'm paying $200.

But if you always buy $100s worth, you’ll pay the same as before.

It remains one of the funniest sports talking head moments in history for me. A close second was the 49ers game where the one announcer was having a crash out about the nonsense animation of a street car going up Lombard (as someone that lived there for a decade I also hated how they just made that up. There are no street cars on Lombard)

Good idea, I'll just put in $100. Problem solved.

They’ve allowed Iraq to go through yesterday.

Not only that, also fertilizer, potassium etc are also allowed through. To lower the impact of growing season etc

That's a drop in a bucket .... but the Orange Clown will take this as a reason to TACO on Monday and feed his Wall Street cult so they can push the S&P up.

Iran pulling the boss move, get everyone back into the Strait in time for Trump to start shelling. Not a good look to be bombing your allies ships.

Lets cause a world problem and let the world beg us for help. Thats the plan and always has been. Trump is a narcissist waiting for everyone to kiss his you know what. Similar to our man Vince Mcman.

Ships aren't moving though, I get some people are really clinging to any piece of news as an opportunity to breath some huge sigh of relief and pretend it's all getting better and will be over soon, but all that's really happening right now is Iran has full control of the strait and the only ships going through are the ones Iran lets through.

As long as there are agreements, things tend to get better. Even you you have to pay the toll. Also, India and china having green light, which helps a lot bringing the pressure down. Europe almost don’t rely on oil from the Middle East. We suffer a lot from price increase, but if china and India have access to Ormuz Oil, then the pressure will be less for everyone. Also, we are seeing more and more ships from other countries starting to cross Ormuz (Spain has green light, France is also able to cross with agreements).

Some of us have access to the internet beyond Listnook, and can also see Iraqi (and Arab) petrochemical facilities being blown up. Unless empty ships passing through Hormuz is also a good sign, I’d wager that the system won’t be around for much longer if this war continues.

This is another sign that the Islamic Republic lacks the ability to enforce its blockade of the strait. The regime is desperate for cash so it will let ships through, undermining its own strategy by increasing the supply of oil and keeping the price low. The regime's strategy will fail. It will not stop the US and Israel.

Dark_World_Blues Apr 5, 2026 +3
Yeah, the whole purpose of blocking the strait in the beginning was to create economical damage to the world. This kinda defeats the purpose of this tactic.

Get enough UAE, Iraqi, Chinese and Indian ships into the strait and it might. Iran will say it’s open, ships are moving, becomes awfully hard for Trump to justify bombing because Straits are shut. Won’t stop him, just wedge him.

Bombing Iran is because of other reasons. He still has a lot of excuses to continue bombing them, including Iran not allowing other countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudia Arabia through the strait. Other excuses is that IRGC has been bombing civilian infrastructures in the GCC countries in the past few weeks, including oil and gas infrastructure, electric power plants, and water desalination plant, and USA has a defence pact with these countries. If water desalination plants gets destroyed, they would lose their only sources of drinkable water, not counting any water stock they have.

Trump isn't bombing the Islamic Republic because of the Strait. The bombing started before the Strait was closed. Obviously opening the Strait won't stop the bombing because that's not the reason for the bombing. The Islamic Republic is being bombed because of its decades-long outrageous behavior which included murdering tens of thousands of Iranian protesters, murdering Americans and their allies in numerous terrorist attacks, building nuclear weapons and attacking US allies. The goal of the war is regime change and it won't stop until that is complete.

TL/DR the US is bombing Iran because Netanyahu wants it bombed.

Oh, that's the most cope-iest thing I've read in a while. You don't think It's Iran that's picking and choosing what ships get shot at?

Ultra_Metal Apr 5, 2026 -1
Of course they pick what they shoot. My point is that they're not shooting at all the ships, which means their strategy will fail since the price of oil will not go up as much as they wanted and the US will continue the war. The US barely uses the strait and Israel doesn't use it at all. Blocking them from the strait does nothing for the Islamic Republic other than give the other affected countries a legitimate casus belli against the regime.
