Not to avoid sanctions but to circumvent the Irsnian blockade. 6/10/26 CNBC:
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. military has secretly helped 200 commercial ships and more than 100 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
I have found the relatively low price of oil globally with the Strait of Hormuz closed. The amount moved (at night without lights) is a fraction of thr normal transport so oil is still tight but at least our allies (Australia, Japan, South Korea) should get some benefit. Our erstwhile allies even benefit. If only they were helping! Of course, the Royal Navy is now not even a shadow of its former self, more like a shadow of a ghost so expecting their help is unrealistic. Besides, they have emerging impolite opposition forming.
