2:25 IS THERE ANY SIGN that Iran is prepared to allow passage of the Straits of Hormuz? Will the Straits of Hormuz remain closed so long as this war continues?
Well, as a matter of fact, this Straits of Hormuz is open. It is only closed to the tankers and ships belonging to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass.
Of course, many of them prefer not because of their, you know, security concerns. This has nothing to do with us.
And at the same time, there are many tankers and ships who are passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and I can say that the Strait is not closed, but it is only closed to American, Israeli ships and tankers and not to, to others.
