Nothing straitforward about the strait
🚨Top line: Order/counter order = no assurance
➡️Turns out Freedom of Nav can’t be restored by social media post🙄
➡️FAC/FIAC making pretty much their first outing - more where that came from😬
➡️Tanker under attack said it was cleared, suggesting Iranian SA fail. Not sure about this - I would expect them to have a decent handle🤷♂️
➡️Either way, risk of miscalculation ever present
📖Exam Q remains as it has all along; will the US blockade (and other efforts) cause sufficient pain to persuade Iran to relinquish their (ongoing) control of the strait?
⛔️’Not yet’ clearly the answer…today
