Despite U.S. military coordination to ensure safe passage without direct escorts, some ships are negotiating risky deals with Iran—potentially involving crypto, cash, or donations—risking U.S. sanctions. Over a hundred tankers have managed to slip out, often at night, with U.S. helicopters intervening to fend off Iranian threats. The UK has recorded 44 incidents since March, including deaths, while a ceasefire since April 8 hasn’t stopped both sides from vying for control. Meanwhile, U.S. forces have rerouted 100+ vessels near Hormuz, and Iran’s stance on a potential Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire complicates regional diplomacy further.
