No insurance no saily. Until the details become clear, those ships ain't going anywhere.

A fella from Lloyds of London said its likely additional insurance would be required if the US Navy escorted them through, for fairly obvious reasons. On which note i did read that the Iranians were goading the USN to try and make a run through the Straights.
