Last Sunday the first non-Iranian ship went through Hormuz. A Pakistani cargo ship, the Lorax, went through with its AIS (automatic identification system turned on) Iran guided it through Hormuz. It exited via a weird route which may indicate that Hormuz is mined.
Since then a ship from India has been given safe passage. Make a deal with Iran and you get through.
Iraq is negotiating with Iran to get its ships through.

(15,354 posts)Vladdy and Benny played you real good.
Benny needs a strong but dumb vicious dog to help him expand his territory against his neighbors (and keep him rich and out of jail), and Vladdy Daddy wanted to ruin the US in revenge for the breakup of the Soviet Union and keep the "West" off balance so he could keep his crime network going.
It's going to take generations to recover from this, because Jesus ain't coming to save the petulant mediocre haters that took DJT in as their saviour against people that were different and made them uncomfortable.

Zelensky posted on X that drones could eventually be intercontinental. To me, Iran's radical Islamist, terrorist government showed their hand. We can't have them in power at all, imo. They have to go. If you can't stop drones, you have to eliminate the people who build them and push their launch buttons. Post-launch defense is getting too iffy in our wonderful times.

Where is the starting point for negotiations?
This war is between Israel and Iran, Krasnov is in it for the money.

They are a theocratic, patriarchal, homophobic, arch-conservative, cruel bunch of dirt bags. No question. They want power, and they can't be allowed to have it in any way, nor can anyone who thinks like them. I wish it weren't so, but it is. The world's technology makes it that way.
