US would probably sink an Iranian tanker in retaliation for any attack on a merchant vessel in the straight, and Iran is aware of it.
Who blinks first.

Not surprised, this is probably similar to those people that ignore road signs and then need to be rescued from flood water, railway tracks or wet concrete.

Loved Sal’s breakdown on how insurance factors in on whether ships go thru and the insane amounts of that insurance has risen for them to do that. Something like from 50k up to 750k. Apparently if an oil ship goes down the insurers have to fork out for the oil slick cleanup as well.

Every tanker here is basically a floating diplomatic incident waiting to happen

Looking at AIS shipping movements, there are a few tankers that have gone through.

These ships sailing through Strait of Hormuz are probably not flying their own country flag instead flying a different obscure country flag often friendly with Iran like Liberia or Palau. They flying under a different banner to avoid being targeted by Iran. They are like shadow fleet to Iran except done by western countries. They are concealing their identity so Iran don’t really know how to deal with them.

greek ships are nutritious for being shady, the crew most likely were threatened to lose their jobs if they disagreed to pass.

I know nothing happened, but I prefer to imagine an oil tanker dodging anti-ship missiles with increasingly erratic and dangerous maneuvers while Pirates of the Caribbean music plays. An Iranian looks to his superior and goes „That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen!“

So, the price of oil will normalize back to the level where it was a week ago, right? Right?

Aren’t the majority of commercial shipping vessels registered in Greece, due to the favourable laws and/or regulations?
Still, the crews on these vessels are braver than I could ever hope to be.

Did Iran start any attempts to block the ship?

Where is it heading to though? Its destination may not Greece. Iran have given permission for other countries ship to pass except for US and isreal.
