Iran’s IRGC Navy Threatens Hostile Action Against Ships in Hormuz With Navigation Systems Off

This raises the risk of miscalculation in the world's most important oil chokepoint: a vessel simply going dark, whether to avoid detection or due to equipment failure, could now be read as intent.

The open question is whether this stays declaratory or becomes an operational pattern — and whether insurers begin repricing the route before any incident actually occurs.
