The reports of attacks on commercial ships came after the US said it "eliminated" 16 Iranian mine-layers in the area. Elsewhere, two drones were downed near Dubai airport.

Only four vessels identified passing through Strait of Hormuz this week - published at 16:01
By Joshua Cheetham
The latest data from the ship tracking firm MarineTraffic has identified a total of four vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz since Monday, including two making the journey today [March 11, 2026].
From the same source, it’s not spoofing, but jamming and disabled trackers causing the problem with actual ship tracking:
Tracking of these ships has been difficult as some may have been turning off their onboard trackers as Iran continues to target vessels in the region. Signal jamming in the region is also causing many ships to give misleading location data.
I can find no source that says anything about any line of ships waiting to cross, real or not. Probably because they don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.
All that’s a far cry from the selective closing you described, and I can’t find any source that confirms any such deal as you assert between Iran and any country, GCC or not, that allows current access to the Strait of Hormuz.
But Trump did lie about escorting a ship, so you got that part right.
Why did you even bother? Were you just wondering how long it would take for someone to notice and correct you?
In your world, where inanimate ships “feel” and that means something, there are no sources at all, and you can’t provide any.
In the real world of legitimate news and actual sources, I was unable to find any source describing or relying on “confidence,” but it doesn’t even matter. Any confidence was unjustified. From the same source:
Four commercial vessels have reportedly been attacked in the region since the early hours of Wednesday, according to the maritime intelligence company Vanguard. Vanguard reports that Iran’s military has said two of these vessels - Mayuree Naree and Express Rome - ignored warnings not to transit the Strait without permission.
So much for confidence. Speaking of which, your ass is not a reliable source of information.

What crossfire? Iran is actively firing missiles at neighboring countries and hitting ships already in the Strait of Hormuz.

Yeah? And why do you think those ships felt confident to cross?
