Insurance companies are getting cold feet...

Trump finally PLAYED HIS ACE... and now... they're SCREWED. Rumble video
“see the tracking data “
One ship.
Retards. Go thru.
One ship shown in that video. Which sailed right through the zone Iran claimed to have mined.
You also missed the statement in the video that dozens of ships have sailed through.
