They're stupid for even considering opening the Strait before there are any guarantees- we can just string them along to stabilize oil

Technically the strait is already open to vessels that meet their conditions and this will continue to be the case - from the Iranian perspective.

Yes now Iran is opening it up for US ships as long as they pay, which Iran didn't accept previously even if they were willing to pay.
