The Strait of Hormuz remains open to all shipping except vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies”, Iranian media reports published on Sunday quoted Iran’s representative to the U.N. maritime agency as saying.
Ali Mousavi’s comments came from an interview published on Friday by Chinese news agency Xinhua, before U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to target Iranian power plants if the strait was not “fully open” within 48 hours.
The threat of Iranian attacks during the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has kept most ships from getting through the narrow strait, the conduit for around a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, threatening a global energy shock.
Was the US bombing random oil tankers in the strait now?
No, but Iran will continue to threaten vessels from crossing. The treat itself will prevent any vessel from attempting, also insurance won’t allow it.

Not many, but they are making it through if Iran allows them.
They are not actually chaotic disorganized maniacs, even if thats how many media outlets like to portray them. They know what they are doing and its clearly working.
They’re somewhat organised maniacs but maniacs nevertheless.
