The U.S. was to begin blocking ships from entering or exiting the Strait of Hormuz at 10 a.m. ET.

„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.“ – U.S. Central Command.

I don’t know anything about blockades. If a ship tries to pass, will the US Navy fire at them? Like they will sink merchant ships?

I reckon if Iran renamed the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Trump this could well all be over as his ego would be so inflated.

So…. just to recap: the strait was open a few weeks ago and now it’s being blockaded by TWO countries.
This is pure genius.

They’re still letting ships through. Just not letting anything in that comes to Iran’s ports.

This administration has done more for my understanding of cults than any documentary I’ve watched or Wikipedia article I’ve read.
Dude literally promised to end all wars on day one, lower the price of everything, deliver more jobs than ever before and make everyone richer than they’ve ever dreamed of.
Instead he just gave everyone a giant golden shower and they’re all complimenting his aim and asking if they can donate more money to make him feel better.
Tough guys who aren’t afraid to tell it like it is and aren’t afraid of the woke police saying “of course I love his administration and most of what he’s doing, but I don’t know about this…. My store has gone out of business, I can’t afford my electricity or gas now, and I’m afraid that things are just going to get more expensive.”
He even changed his cadence and started sounding more like the fucking heavens gate videos.

Wasn’t the goal to open the strait? Guess it has changed to „Make TACO money“.

So what happens when China sends warships to escort their tankers and/or offers to sell escort services to other countries?

So Trump wants our allies to open the Strait, right? The one he’s blockading?

„President Donald Trump slammed Iran for refusing to give up its nuclear ambitions.“, Iran should ask Trump to give up his rapist, pedophile ways and see how that goes. One bad thing for another.

> The U.S. blockade, which was set to begin at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, applies to “any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump said.

So Centcom and the President are directly contradicting each other. Totally normal.

They are 100% going for the financial enforcement, that is, insurance companies removing coverage (which effectively prevents ships from moving around and reaching ports). Except China has been building a parallel insurance infrastructure, so they don’t care about Lloyd’s and they don’t need Western banks to process the transaction in dollars.
If China decides a VLCC full of crude is sailing through that strait regardless of what the US Navy says, good fucking luck trying to stop a supertanker that requires kilometers to steer. It either goes through (and the blockade is exposed as unenforceable against anyone who matters 🤡) or a destroyer gets ordered to fire at it and now a nuclear power has the right to defend itself.

My tinfoil hat theory is Trump is trying to get one of his ship’s sunk so he can justify a full scale invasion. You don’t do something as recklessly stupid as this unless you actively want your own to die.

To all the Americans who elected this sorry excuse of an Orangutan and is doing nothing to him accountable for touching children and bankrupting economies:
F- YOU AND YOUR FUTURE GENERATIONS!
What this citrus-colored raisin is doing to the world will make the United States the sick man of the future for the years ahead.
Your country’s image is ruined.
Your diplomacy ruined.
Your reliability as an ally is questionable at best.
I thought that United States is the Land of the Free, but it turns out the only thing that is „free“ about United States is „FREE to be on the wrong side of history“.
Our country’s on the opposite side of the world and we have to cope with what your tanned clown in the Oval Office whims every time NYSE opens up.
This is getting tiresome.
