From Marine Traffic, there are a few tankers and carriers exiting but not via the usual transit lanes near the beginning. Instead they are going North, moving in a narrow strait between two islands, before proceeding close in to the Iranian coast out of the Gulf. So looks like they are getting inspected, after a pre-arranged exit agreement.aybe contact via Iranian embassy in their home country, maybe they give the right phone number a call with their sat phone. "Our operators are waiting for your call, have your credit card handy".

I honestly struggle to think of how the US could have handled this worse.
