   While the Tangerine Tyrant is 'demanding' that Iran 're-open' the Strait of Hormuz, it looks like the Iranians toll system is working to some extent with three ships (two LNG, one oil) passing through the Strait safely - one assumes having paid some sort of toll - over the weekend.

   As this demonstrates, one result of the US/Israeli attacks on Iran may be to have turned the Straits into a naval turnpike.

   Not the result we were told to expect, is it?
