    Iran is blockading some traffic, notably not their own and those that pay protection.

    The US is blockading some traffic, notably Iran’s traffic.

    The best I can tell, Iran aims to block the whole strait, while letting their own traffic through. And the US just wants to blockade Iranian ports, and let the rest of the traffic through.

    Iran blocked it for any ship that did not pay a toll to iran. US is blocking it for every ship that did pay the toll.

    If you’re depressed I suggest turning off the news. Won’t cure it but I don’t think it’s a source of happiness to you.
