Even if it opens, the premiums will be sky-high. Better to wait and see.

Gamble is the right word. When lives and millions are on the line, you don't flip a coin.

Houthis haven't exactly packed up, have they? A deal doesn't erase reality on the ground.

My uncle works in shipping, he says the same. Too many moving parts, too little trust.

Exactly, a piece of paper doesn't stop mines or shady toll collectors. I wouldn't risk it either.
