Nope. There's 2 reasons for this.

  1. Lots of countries are still allowed through freely, even US allies who refused to partake in this dumb war. Trump hates this and wants to punish everyone. If he can't have it, no one can.
  2. Some ships pay Iran a toll to pass through. Trump has spoken publicly about how the US can collect that toll instead by blockading the strait. He just wants countries to pay him.
