Spanish tankers are going through. Filipinian and Indian too.
Again, what are you on about.
France was one of 3 countries that literally blocked UN resolution about opening straight by force. And president repeatedly called it "impossible".
You read weird news if you thing "a threat" of anything is making iran to let ships pass. Money and noninvolvement do.
> Spanish tankers are going through
No they are not, this French ship was the first European tanker going through.
The Spanish tankers aren't going through because there aren't any Spanish tankers that operate in that region.
Spain has permission from Iran to send through tankers if it indeed had some.
"X is doing B" and "Y was the first to do B" can both be true at the same time.
