@KimPerales #Iran *from the start* allowed ships to pass through the Strait provided those ships:
1. Weren't aligned with the side waging war against them
2. Pay a toll in yuan, price on spectrum

Ships were mainly stopped by:
1. Their own insurance companies
2. US blockade
3. Iran, if ship was aligned with US-Israel & didn't pay toll

Chinese ships could traverse #straitofhormuz right up until US launched its blockade for paying ships. China wasnt stopped by Iran, it was stopped by US
