Everyone is reporting on these ships making it through the strait *which is still under Iranian control*. Few seem to mention the part in the Gulf of Oman where the US is *actually* implementing its blockade. The poster child, *Rich Starry*, mentioned in the article, did this a few hours after clearing the strait, still far from the Arabian Sea:  That sure doesn't look like a ship breaching a blockade without incident. It's too early to say how this will play out on a larger scale but for these specific ships a lot of reporting is really fucking misleading at the moment.
