Is it open?  Closed?  Schrödinger’s Strait? Tolls? fees? Free?   Etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think this will remain relevant for some time.</p>
<p dir="auto">Apparently Iran fired on a Singaporean flagged ship today.</p>

<p dir="auto">You sure you don't want to go back to the "Iran War" thread?</p>

<p dir="auto">Schrodinger's Strait may yet be surpassed by Schrodinger's casus belli, where every side is both aggressor and aggrieved until shipping insurance triples.</p>

Today Iran attacked Bahrain in retaliation* for the US attacks yesterday.</p>
<p dir="auto">Friday no attacks reported but Iran gave some ships radio warnings which then turned back.</p>
<p dir="auto">*One imagines in their framing the attack on the ship Thursday was a retaliation for cease fire violations in Lebanon, so each subsequent incident requires a new retaliatory response.</p>

Closed because a terrorist state threatens to destroy any ship using them.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have to say I'm dissatisfied and impatient for change.</p>
<p dir="auto">We ought to do the same to all Iranian ships and planes using any international waters and any international airspace worldwide.<br />
Isolate Iran to the best of our ability.<br />
Bomb their airfields, their border infrastructure to other countries north and east, bomb their leaders and all military, and just suck up the increasing price of fuels.  Make their coastal land areas to the west and south uninhabitable.  Encourage the Kurds to take back their land.<br />
Reduce the size and influence of Iran and these hateful Mullahs who kill thousands of their own protesting people, and have exported their murder worldwide over the last five decades</p>
<p dir="auto">Of course it isn't going to happen.  We barely raise a finger to protest when Putin invades a European neighbour, twice.  Having said that I actually recall when Ukrainian people were called Russians by us.<br />
Change takes time and trouble.</p>
