Summary

A literal rock and a hard place, where 11,000 crew remain stuck on ships in the middle of two warring belligerents now negotiating peace, telling them opposing advice on how they can safely evacuate. The Iranian regime is telling them to leave, but to first cross via one of its islands Larak Island at the northern part of the Strait.
