We're watching every Iranian ship in every port. Period, full stop. That allows us to execute to the high degree that we've been able to do. We're able to sustain this as long as necessary. The opening of the Straight-A-Four Moose is part of the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah and Lebanon. The U.S. Iran ceasefire runs out next week. Oil prices dropped back to where they were in the early days of the Iran War, and stocks are racing toward another record. A spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry says the straight is still under the supervision of Iran, but if the U.S. violates its own commitments, it will take necessary reciprocal measures.
