If Iran closed it why offer to underwrite? Trump was attacking Iran and the insurance companies stopped the traffic because of it.

So Iran didn't close it, and Trump would underwrite the ships going through. So the ships had no reason to not continue through no? Unless GEICO has a Navy?

You didn’t though. You apparently don’t understand how insurance works, nor cause and effect.

WHY did insurance companies start cancelling policies for vessels who navigate the strait?

We agree on that

Look it's pretty simple. Iran was threatening to attack ships trying to navigate the Strait. Vessels stopped trying to traverse the strait because the people leading those ships didn't want to die in a boat strike. In response to Iran's threats, insurance companies started cancelling policies because if they didn't cancel policies they would lose a boatload of money in paying out claims if a ship tried to navigate the strait and got blown up. Insurance companies cancelling policies was to protect their own financial interests. It's not what caused vessels to stop trying to navigate the strait. Vessels stopped trying to navigate the strait because they didn't want to get blown up. You think the captain of a ship gives a sh-t about whether or not the company that owns the boat will be covered if they get blown up? Like what, he'll be looking down from heaven going "Well I'm dead, but at least the corporation who owns the boat won't suffer a financial loss because of this!"

And even with insurance companies cancelling policies, boats that had coordinated with the IRGC to allow for safe passage through the strait (likely through paying a toll) continued to traverse the Strait.

Gee, it's almost as if the reasons for vessels not traversing the strait was the fear of being blown up in a boat attack.....

War starts

Insurance stops the movement of ships because the war starts

Trump offers to underwrite

Iran mumbles it's closed few days after but not much happens AFTER the insurance companies already did

More talk

Minister says it's open a few weeks later

IRG starts BS in force with mines and rockets mid March

Trump closes it April

I've answered a few times and Google said so as well. Trump and Israel hit them.

Oh, somewhere towards the start people started saying Iran's navy would close it and I said no chance they will have a prayer with ours there and Doc and I got into it.

Eh not really. He was adamant about tariffs not being pushed down to the consumer because for profit companies would choose to just eat the cost instead. That's stupidity right up there with the Limu Emu shutting down the strait IMO.

Still refusing to answer my simple question. Why did insurance companies start cancelling policies for ships trying to navigate the strait?

"Insurance stops the movement of ships because the war starts"

Insurance companies are incapable of "stopping movement". They do not have an enforceable arm to do that. This statement shows that you don't understand the role of insurance.

what you're also implying here is that had insurance companies not starting cancelling policies, that everything would have been all hunky dory in the strait and ships would have just been passing through left and right, which is an effing laughable proposition given the reality that Iran has been attacking ships who have attempted to pass through the strait without paying them a toll.
