Situation post Iran's 11/7 attack on a Cypriot ship escalating: - Trump says US blockade of Iranian ports to resume, US to control Strait - Saudi Arabia hits Sana'a airport in Yemen, trying to stop Iranian plane landing - IRGC says 'time for restraint over' threatens Gulf states

A coercive act in the same week that it was reported a summit aimed at reconciling with Iran will be held in Saudi Arabia. Gulf leaders will twin track it, taking steps to calm tensions, even allowing frozen Iranian assets through, while preparing for another war + lessening Hormuz dependence

Interesting gesture from US side - is this an easing of their blockade that’s meant to pave the way for Iranian acquiescence in allowing hundreds of neutral vessels to leave the Gulf? Maybe, but would undermine the IRGC ‘tollbooth’ concept for the Strait of Hormuz
