The US announces the resumption of cargo ship traffic through Hormuz.

Operation Project Freedom, announced by Trump the day before, is proceeding at a rocky pace. According to US Central Command, only two cargo ships have been able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The US military announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of cargo ship traffic. According to CENTCOM, two US-flagged merchant ships have so far been able to pass through. Further details are still lacking, but it is known that US destroyers are responsible for securing the passage. It was previously stated that they would not enter the strait itself.

US Navy destroyers are ensuring safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and have already escorted two US-flagged merchant vessels through it. The vessels safely transited the strait and are currently en route.

Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Scott Burns stated that the United States has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, while Iranian cargo ships are stuck in ports and there is virtually no oil trade.

We have complete control of the strait. We've blocked ships entering or leaving Iranian ports. Their economy is in free fall, and everyone says they have a high pain tolerance. Well, their soldiers won't have a high tolerance for missing pay.

What's going on? Did an American destroyer sink?

And who did the Persians caress in the strait today? Was it the Americans?

They blocked it, then opened it, but they won't go in there. It's all clear, another Trump-style victory.
I wonder how deep in the hold those two merchant ships hid the American flag.

two merchant ships

Here the question is about cargo - is it a tanker, a container ship or a dry cargo ship, where were they heading to or from the gulf, empty or... and while the South Korean one is burning

We're anchored not far from here. We heard on the VHF that two ships had arrived.

The Iranians played poker with the Americans and raised the stakes. They let the Americans through Hormuz, but put on a show for the other players. I don't understand poker at all. I'm more into golf, or curling—there's really only one hole. One red shot and you're done, the end is yours. I witnessed a shot like this: "five battleships" in the scoring area—two remaining, and no matter what the opponent does after that, the last stone will bring victory to the opponent. Smart people give up right away. Iran is beating the USA in Hormuz. I apologize, but my mobile internet connection prevents me from watching Hormuz online through Western sites. And they blocked "Cruid Oil Price" for me—a very interesting site, if you ignore the "Russophobic" authors. There are smart people there hiding behind "nicknames." In Europe, it's a mess. , with three, and maybe even four "P".

In the US, some salesmen from TV shopping have come to power and are telling mind-blowing stories left and right.

They don’t judge people by themselves
