Die Blockade der US-Marine scheint zu funktionieren, da mit dem Iran verbundene Schiffe in der Straße von Hormus anhalten oder ihren Kurs ändern

>The US Navy’s sea blockade against Iran appears to be doing its job.

Meanwhile, Iran’s blockade against non-Iranian ships leaving the Persian Gulf is doing its job.

„Working“ is one way to phrase things.

It’s „working“ in the sense that the U.S. military is capable of blockading the Strait for ships that departed from Iranian ports. (We’d better be able to do that given how much we spend on the military-industrial complex.)

But it definitely ain’t „working“ in terms of solving the shitshow we find ourselves in.

„seems to be“ is quite the qualifier.

I don’t think the ability of the US Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz was ever in question. Unfortunately this does nothing to solve the actual problem

Doesn’t matter, everyone in the world is going to be paying more for everything in life for the next couple years or longer.

Roughly 40 per cent of the Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by this senseless US and Israel led war, leaving as much as $58 billion of energy infrastructure damaged and over 12 million barrels short on the daily market.

It could take up to three or more years to restore damaged facilities, and several months to restart those that were urgently shut down.

The whole world needs to move as much as possible to clean energy.

We cannot be held hostage and dependent on fossil fuels, they lead to nothing but wars and drive up the costs for all of us in our daily lives. They also fund wars and lead to human suffering all over the world.

Are these the Iranian ships that are bringing fuel from Iran to Iran?

I’m honestly wondering if this was the plan from the get go.

Get Iran to blockade the strait first, but they would obviously still let their ships through. The US then gets the excuse to blockade all Iran ports in retaliation. Iran can’t play the victim card with the strait since they moved to close it first. So now there is little international backlash to the US blockading Iran and severing their oil revenue while keeping the oil infrastructure in place (for a new regime to use).

Just like swinging a dick. Eventually they will realise it doesn’t really get them anywhere and they look like fools.

If there’s a blockade then it is not working, since it was supposed to be open.

Working in what context? Bringing this shit show to an end? Muppets.

Yeah so…. Whats it solving other than making the strait non-travable. congrats you blockaded the blockade… So now we all wonder why anyone thought this was a good idea?

Working? What does this accomplish? Can this administration even explain what the goals are to this?
