Iran (and various news sources) have claimed that the straights are not now, and in fact never have been, closed - provided the relevant ship was not involved/linked to the attacks on Iran, and that it coordinated with Iranian authorities. So, it could be that: * Iran is lying and that has not actually been an option. * A lot of the ships which would otherwise have transitioned are involved with the war somehow. * The relevant parties have decided not to coordinate transitions with Iran, for various reasons * The data displayed at the link is partial for some reason. | ||

No need for baseless speculation, it's well known that no insurance company is willing to insure transit through the straight while it's an active war zone. | ||
