The billionaires should sail their yachts through the strait to prove how safe it is.

Yes. They should have a party in the straight on their yachts. Just connect them altogether as part of one giant round tip followed by a smaller group connected by lesser billionaires. We'll call it the butt plug of Hormuz. Once that gets pulled out of there can you imagine how much better traffic will flow.
