Video shows ships turning away from the Strait of Hormuz as confusion persists over whether sea lane is really open

the stait is CLOPENED

Iran says closed again https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5837279-iran-us-blockade-strait/

I can't say I've ever felt like being a merchant sailor. But especially now must be awful.

Schrödinger Strait

It's Aladeen!

For the sake of the world, please involve professional mediators, and not friends, sons-in-law, and fawning field marshalls!

Rabbit season, duck season, rabbit season, duck season...

Trump will end up wishing the guys who went up in smoke in the opening decapitation strike were still alive.

It doesn't matter if it's open or not at this point, no will provide insurance. The companies have also been spooked by Houthi threats to the Suez canal so they're all on the way around the cape of good hope. Shipping maps show huge groups of tankers and cargo ships at anchor either side of the straight, that alone will take weeks or even months to clear.

It isn't confusing at all if you have internalized the fact that Trump lies constantly and reflexively. Trump says what he *wants* to be true, not was is *actually* true. So, it's simple. Never believe anything he says until it has been confirmed by an independent source.

This has to be one of the most confusing time of my life….

Oh NOOOO! Really? Well this is unexpected.

Iran is pumping and dumping LOL

This timeline is the worst.

It is opened, just mind the mines.

It’s our first, semi-annual, annual, going out of business- grand opening celebration bishes! Grab an extra medium Big Mac and grab a seat to witness the end of days!

If they couldn’t find the mines there, can you really say that it’s open?

We will burn all the oil at the sea with all this back and forth.

Its not open and confirmed by Iran that its closed just a few hours ago: [https://x.com/mb\_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970](https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970) "The U.S. President made seven claims in one hour, and all seven are false. They did not win the war with these lies, and they certainly will not get anywhere in negotiations either With the continuation of the blockade, the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open"

It is open conceptually

It’s open to vessels that are willing to risk their lives

There's zero confusion lol. Nobody is going to trust IRGC or its many terrorist proxies to not open fire on ships. The civilian government and the IRGC don't even agree and it's not clear who's in power (the Ayatollah has been silent since he took office, it's not even clear if he's even alive), and the IRGC is also designed to have a "mosaic command structure" which means units can fracture and operate autonomously rather than only take orders from a clear central leadership, which leads to many "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" situations. Even if you had utmost assurance from every IRGC unit in the area with an anti-ship missile battery or drone, you have no idea where the sea mines are. Iran even said they lost track. The ceasefire was always dead on arrival because it's simply unworkable, and the US leadership and Iranian leadership were working off completely different understandings of what the proposal was. And the Iranian civilian government the US was negotiating with is not necessarily in complete control of the IRGC, who at times has contradicted Iranian state media. You would be a fool to sail through the strait no matter what Iran says.

A fully laden container ship can take from 1.4 to 4 nautical miles to come to a complete halt. Must be an absolute nightmare stopping and starting....

TACO clearly stated that it's open which means it's closed.

I have a conception of opening the strait.

What is this? schrodinger's strait?

The strait is aladeen
