Also, because after the Xi Trump summit, they thought, oh, maybe there's a deal that's been worked out.
But also, Iran has now set up what it calls the Persian Gulf Strait Authority.
Which is their new and potentially highly lucrative body to manage traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

So most people say they're not paying.
We don't know whether countries are doing deals.
So, you know, Pakistan does a deal directly with Iran and everybody, you know, we don't know all of that.
But what we can see is that people seem to be edging towards a new sort of status quo where maybe some ships can come out.
And so maybe that door is opening and there are a lot of maybes here.
