It will eventually have to be opened for all. For real opened, not "We promise not to shoot you if you pay us." opened.

The empathy and conscientiousness about Iran's terrible losses in the war will eventually end up being directly proportional to the mail arriving on time. That, and the perception that Iran is unable to keep it from arriving on time for the foreseeable future. That's key, too.

The world is not that magnanimous or altruistic where the rubber meets the road. This is not sustainable, even a little bit, like Iran wants it now.

God help us all if a tanker sinks, or catches fire, intentionally or by a frickin' act of nature.
