The fact global shipping now treats “possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz” as something that can be worked around is honestly kind of insane on its own.

Where does most global shipping go to and from?
China.
Who isn’t affected by the closure of the strait at all?
China.
Good work Trump, America First!
If that is the explanation, it sure isn’t made clear by this shit article.
China depends on Iranian oil, which is why Iran tried the partial blockade to let friendly ships through. That forced the US to try and enforce a full blockade to prevent China from being less affected than everyone else.
It’s absolutely epic that Iran found a way for their adversary to enforce the very blockade which their adversary took issue with. Like… holy hell. That’s some boss level shit
