It was effectively closed by all rational metrics. It’s why Trump pissed and moaned about not having enough international help reopening the strait.
And aside from this, our great ally in the region, Israel, is never going to let us out of this joint war and never going to ease up in Lebanon, per actions today and yesterday.
So, great and grand MOU we got there. Fucking worthless.

after they “closed” it, through the Southern route next to Oman. Only 24 Iranian ships were allowed (for humanitarian reasons). About 500 ships are still stuck, but it was not totally closed and the US had plans to de-mine it.
The only scenario where your plan (appeasement) makes sense is if Iran invents quantum radar or some technology that eliminates our military superiority. Then the shoe could be on the other foot and they’ll blast us back to the Stone Age (or enslave our women and tax us). As if they weren’t going to do that before? Who you shittin?
