From the transcript
Well, it was nice while it lasted, wasn't it? In case you missed it, the Strait of O'Mooze, the Strait of Waterway that has absolutely dominated coverage of the Iran War since late February, has finally been opened at last for about a minute. It was a bit longer than that, but it wasn't that much longer, exact figures depending on who you ask.
But we saw a double-digit number of ships cross through on Thursday, reaching a two-month high at around 25.
By Saturday we were up to 55 ships, still a fraction of the pre-war baseline of 130 to 160 a day, but progress is progress, but later in the day on Saturday, Iran announced that the waterway would once again be closed, sending us right back to square wide in what really is beginning to feel a lot like a nightmare we can't wake up from.
