Ice are just Trumps police. They will be used against all of you in the near future. The way I understand things now is that hormuz will remain closed.

This will create shortages in fertilizer (used in food production, so it will create food shortages) and oil shortages for a lot of countries.

America has its own oil, but food could be affected. This will drive prices up even more. Americans and others will start to get aggressive because they cant afford food anymore. This is why ice is needed. Because some of you Americans have guns and will use them if you get desperate.

I just pulled all money off the stock market myself. I think people are not realizing the importance of hormuz for everything. Its just a delayed effect.

The YouTube channel Predictive History is good to watch to understand the much bigger picture whats happening here.

Some people will say "conspiracy theory" and sure, I understand. I just like to be careful. If hormuz opens, we can all say im stupid. :)

Effects have started in some countries:

In Asia, where most ​Hormuz oil traffic goes, many countries have already reached the logical endgame of low reserves. Refineries have been cutting their flows, governments have resorted ​to active rationing, and price-sensitive consumers are cutting back. The Philippines has declared a national energy emergency. India has halted commercial liquefied petroleum gas supplies — used ‌widely for ⁠heating, cooking, and vehicle fuel. Japan has curtailed bus and ferry services because of fuel shortages.
