War risk insurance absolutely exists.

> Insurance industry sources said that war risk premiums had stayed firm on Monday at between 0.05% to 0.1% of the value of a ship, from around 0.03% estimated last week before the attacks.

The original claim was about 'sailing in a conflict zone', a.k.a. getting fire insurance for a house that is already on fire.

The original claim is "You cant get insurance for sailing in a conflict zone." Which we have clearly shown is false by showing current insurance rates for sailing in this conflict zone.
