      From the article:

      SINGAPORE, April 13 (Reuters) – Oil tankers are steering clear of the Strait of Hormuz ahead of a U.S. blockade later on Monday following failed peace talks ‌between the U.S. and Iran over the weekend, shipping data showed.

      Trump said on Sunday the U.S. Navy would start blockading the Strait of Hormuz, raising the stakes after marathon talks with Iran failed to reach a deal to end ​the war, jeopardising a fragile two-week ceasefire.

      U.S. Central Command said U.S. forces would begin implementing the blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports at ‌10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) on Monday.

      It would be „enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf ‌of Oman,“ it said in a statement ‌on X.

      U.S. forces would not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting ​the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports, and additional information would be provided to commercial mariners through ‌a formal notice prior to the start of the blockade, it said.

      Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday that any military vessels attempting ‌to approach the Strait of Hormuz ​would be considered a violation of the ceasefire and be dealt with harshly and decisively.

      Does anyone else think that basing so much of the world economy on the status of one of the most volatile regions on earth is a bad idea?

      So this “superpower” has been reduced to the tactics, and ethics, of Somalian pirates now.

      From what understand the states is going to board or seize any tanker found that paid the fee to Iran. So countries in Asia that are starving for fuel to the point of being willing to pay a toll. Those people will know be punished by the United States. The same United States that started this war with Iran. The same United States that removed sanctions on Russian oil leading to the funding of its war with Ukraine. I can’t keep up with this shit.

      The Iranians will now ask their Houthi friends to block the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. Could definitely be a ‚gate of tears‘ for Trump.

      The fact the Trump is creating a blockade because of Iran’s blockade (any blockade boosts the price of oil) reminds of that Michael meme from The Office:“You know what? I’m going to blockade even harder!”

      I’m stupid. Someone clue me in on how exactly the U.S. plans to blockade the strait for ships headed to/from Iranian ports while allowing all others to pass? Aren’t there underwater mines scattered throughout the waterway? Can’t Iran just say “fuck it and fire missiles at all ships passing through? Theres still alot of risk in transiting the straight—would insurers continue to refuse insuring oil tankers? So many questions.

      if you are going to block it, we’re going to do it better! A bigger blockade! The biggest of all time. No blockade has ever been better. Amurica!

      Those captains took one look at the news and collectively hit the reverse gear. Absolutely nobody gets paid enough to steer a literal floating bomb into an active blockade.

      Trump got it wrong or is exaggerating. It is not a total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

      “Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” 

      According to CENTCOM it’s a blockade of ships travelling to and from Iranian ports.

      *(CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the President’s proclamation.*

      *The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.*

      *CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.*

      So is the US literally trying to start a world war at this point?

      Obviously they know the level of punishment this will have across the globe.
