I saw news reporting about this a few days ago, then in the last 24 hours Iran has hit 4 tankers taking the US escort route with no military response from the US: https://x.com/UK_MTO/status/2104881435123339274 https://x.com/UK_MTO/status/2105229649693266101 https://x.com/UK_MTO/status/2105230089768357958 https://x.com/UK_MTO/status/2105246915625701554 . I guess Iran saw the news reporting as well and decided to ramp things back up.
