My theory is that as the Strait closure drive the world towards an energy crisis, the so-far uninvolved countries are going to be tempted to join the side of the Epstein Empire. This is an early attempt to give them a fig leaf.
I think this is also part of why Iran is exhausting the diplomatic route, seemingly far beyond sense. They are trying to to avoid giving those uninvolved countries an excuse to join the war.

The blockade is only on the involved countries
I don’t think the effects of the blockade are that cleanly distributed, but Iran is certainly trying to limit the damage to those countries.
