Probably to clear the strait of Iranian mines, duh.[/quote]

There are no mines. Other tankers  are passing just fine. Mines cannot determine ship origin.

This is all a charade by big oil to raise the prices.[/quote]

It's tiresome dealing with your completely transparent IRGC propaganda. Please stop lying.  The only ships to have transited through are those not going to/from Iranian ports.

[b]Iran announced on Thursday that there were mines in the strait, [b]the first Tehran confirmation, and laid out two paths that ships can use to avoid them[/b], USNI News previously reported.[/b] One of the paths included the Tehran tollbooth, which required ships to sail by Iran’s Larak Island while also contacting the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to provide documentation and, in some cases, payment.

If the ceasefire holds between Iran and U.S., mines become one of the only threats to ships, Dominick Donald, an advisor to the Joint War Committee, which represents war risk underwriters in the Lloyd’s insurance market, told USNI News. If the ceasefire fails or ends, then ships will have to face threats of Iranian projectiles as well.

Transits through the strait have continued to trickle despite the two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. Shipping analysis Lloyd’s List Intelligence tracked six transits on Wednesday and eight on Thursday. On Tuesday, the day of President Donald Trump’s 8 p.m. deadline to open the strait, there were 15.

Between March 30 to April 5, there were 76 transits, the busiest week for the strait since the conflict began. [b]Transits are still less than 10 percent of the typical daily flow[/b], according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
