Strait of Hormuz over the last 48 hours: there's no diplomatic resolution The US and Iran appear content to play this game of hide-and-seek with vessel transits through the Oman lane. US continues to escort a convoy of tankers, and Iran keeps hitting them. UAE reported that one of its tankers was hit, and rescue boats were seen moving towards the damaged tanker. @MerruX noted an oil spill from the hit. In addition to the escalation we continue to see in the Oman lane, the Iranian Supreme National Security Council has published its demands for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. 1. Never threaten Iran in any language, nor insult the sanctities of this nation. 2. Permanently end the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq. 3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran. 4. Pay full compensation, without deduction, for the damages of the two aggressive and imposed wars against Iran. 5. Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation. 6. Unconditionally release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people. If you are keeping track, they have now added Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq to their list for a permanent end to war and aggression. Yikes. By the way, this is the same National Security Council everyone said was "waiting" to approve the deal between Iran and Oman. It does not bode well. I guess we will see what Trump does next.
