How the US naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz works
Video Overview & Insights
US Central Command (CENTCOM) says the blockade applies only to vessels entering and exiting Iranian ports.
Battleships, destroyers, and aircraft carriers are fine in a sea, or on the ocean.
You get too close to the land, the coastline.. yeah.. very expensive metal scrap waiting to happen.
it's even WORSE for submarines!
Mines, tanks, artillery, planes, missles.
These war vessels are very BIG targets.. very expensive targets. Best suited to even medium to long range at the beginning of any battle...
Trump called for allies, and NATO, I still think he doesn't get it.
But how is the blockade being implemented?
Al Jazeera’s Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff explains.
Honestly more impressed with this touch screen and whatever app they're using

Trump said he wanted to rename the straight to the straight of Trump. I agree. So we can all remember when a president became a dictator who destroyed every allie the usa ever had and the world turned to shat.

These are not US waters- they have no rights to do that ! but when has USA ever abided by international laws ??
@blossom14hikerShe has said alot of nonsense
@kibirangorichard2734But Al jazeera said before it was impossible, so explain again what is going on? Has it been done? Some analysis are out of hatred and basis and that makes Al jazeera look sentimental
@Repent125Good luck with blocking China's ship. Not going to happen.
@Ann-q1t2vتنگه ترامپ باید بسته به شه که دیگه نتونه به سیاست آمریکا برینه!
@jnoweeStraight of Hormuz now Trump Straight ❤❤❤❤
@austinOffei😂there’s been a global recession since 2020 then 2022 and 2025 was absolutely horrendous. Where you’re headed is Global Destruction 📉🔥🔥🔥not recession…
@LegsGymsIsrael started the war! then they're running away, and now our fathers, brothers and sons serve in US military are being sacrificed to fight iran... why ????
@Par4clytorZWhere can I download that app that she's using?
@shebby0204Love it. US play at their own game. China needs to shut up. When Iran closed it China didn’t say a word because they sill getting the oil while the world was not. Now they start whining.
@ting2222LOLIONDO... It started with a newspaper article in 2011 which talked about a miracle in Tanzania, where millions became victims including high-ranking officials. It was estimated that about 20,000 people were visiting his village every week. They flocked to Tanzania for a useless herbal cure. This phenomenal exposed the vulnerability of Kenyans to false hope. This story demonstrates the human desire for a quick fix. When faced with deep despair or illness, people often abandon logic for the absolute certainty promised by false healers and modern conmen. The story began with an old man known as Ambilikile Mwasapile in a remote village of Tanzania who claimed that he could heal all diseases in less than 20 minutes. All of a sudden thousands of curious crowds trooped to Arusha hoping to buy the magic cup. The rich who wanted a long life chartered helicopters to go to Arusha. A magic cup had been discovered that healed all diseases. Cancer? Diabetes? Tuberculosis? Aids? Tumours? You name it. The cup answered all questions. This old man defied all the rules of science and came up with a magic cup that crushed all diseases and rejuvinated the body in seconds. He claimed that the magic cup could regulate blood sugars and heal any genetic problem. The lie was bold and outrageous. Destination? Loliondo. All of a sudden, hope was restored. Buses cashed in while touts could be seen frustrated, trying to save on time. Men and women desperately paid for their ticket and accomodation. No one wanted to miss the bus. Landcruisers full of affluent customers guzzled their way full speed and crossed the border to Tanzania. Men and women alike had one hope. The old man from Loliondo. Before he administered his precious cup, he bowed down like a Catholic priest and prayed for his anxious customers. How Original. He even promised them instant healing and a long life ahead . He blessed them and prophesied to them like an old prophet that he was. Before long desperate customers waited in the line all night long. As a matter of fact serving the magic cup became a logistical issue. Men paid extra cash to the assistants of the old man to secure their magic cup. When asked about the method he used to manufacture his wonder drug, he gave a touching story of how an angel appeared to him in the middle of the night and taught him chemistry. He was the chosen one to deliver the drug to the children of God. Kenyans unknowingly bought the wonder drug and came back home only to find out that they paid thousands of shillings for a drug that didn't work. Before long, the old man vanished in the thin air. One by one Kenyans realized that it was a well orchestrated lie. Again the same pattern happened a few years later, a man came with a new trick this time round he assured Kenyans that fasting for a long time was the only requirement to see Christ.He took advantage of his believers and taught them a doctrine that never seemed to find it's way in the bible.Before long, Thousands of Kenyans again joined the bandwagon. Destination? Shakahola. Men abandoned their, families workstations switched off their phones, closed their bank accounts and took a one way ticket to a forest in Malindi. This audacious man of God promised unsuspecting Kenyans that the only solution to their problems was starving themselves. How original. One by one Kenyans lost their lives and were buried in unmarked graves. Fast forward 3 years later. Another obsession has taken centre stage. Every Kenyans wants a star. A good luck charm that will open all the financial doors wide open. All of a sudden, an entire generation is obsessed with their future. It is like they suddenly woke up to a sad reality that someone robbed their future. That desire to be successful has created a new industry for Fortune tellers , palm readers and diviners in Kenya. All of a sudden a special breed of men and women with a special ability to 'see' and hear the voice of God more clearly above the physical hearing and seeing leaving the rest of us stranded and lost. Iam not against anyone, I understand that surviving in Kenya is so complicated. I maybe not be the sharpest tool in the box but I think the gospel is being twisted and adulterated and The worse part is that the syllabus is changing quickly. The question is What does the scripture tell us about Astrology, Fortune Telling and Divination? Deuteronomy 18:10, has already covered that. Iam surprised that Fortune telling has been normalized in Kenya. Being rich has been simplified and trivialized. Is Christianity all about being rich? I thought going to heaven was the deal? I thought the relationship with God is relational and not transactional? Is that the formulae? What is the difference between a witch doctor or a earthen witch and those men and women of God who can, with just one bottle of olive oil or a handkerchief cab change the fortunes of a man or woman. What is the difference between these Fortune tellers and Sportpesa or Betika? Or maybe iam the one who is not informed? Or Maybe iam the one who lacks revelation? I thought that the scripture interprets itself. What does the scripture say about worshipping the starry hosts?
@MoneyhoneyKeZiobots assemble....oh you already have, classic.
@moldymushI didn't know US could do this. So why has Iran been blabbing?😂😂😂
@rayubaku9151Long Live Iran. Long Live Army of God Fighting Israel in Lebanon 🤲🤲✌️🇮🇷🇱🇧
@AtherHusain-zm7jvGod Bless Iran. Justice for 3800 Iranian massacred by Trump and Netanyahu in their illegal war on Iran. Israel want to Annex Gaza and West Bank that’s why they attacked Iran because Iran will never allow Annexation of Gaza and West Bank.
@AtherHusain-zm7jvToday's analysts and reporters suck! Wonder how they got their jobs, so many of them! Just put huge 2 air craft careers as visuals - chances are submarines are doing it!
@anusinghe3332Red hot news
@shimilangagardensits impossible for the US to block 🚫
@CombatTV506Iran is not a match for the US. They keep lying to you that they're winning and you guys keep buying it.
Funny, what they thought they could use as a weapon against world economy has now been taken from them and used against their economy by a stronger force. They're completely helpless.
It's like the case of what goes around comes around.
Trump doesn't bluff
How the blockade works;
1. Iran goes broke.
2. Iran starves.
3. Iran surrenders.
4. America takes 10% of Iran's oil FOREVER
The IRGC owes alot of reparations to GCC
@USMC-GoforthOnly Al Jezeera and CNN are upset
@thurston905I think China has to get its oil and is the card for peace to prevail
@nizammohammed3492America's clown 🤡 grovels for "ceasefire" to slink out of his mess. Iran? Laughing. World knows the pathological liar 😅😂.
@vijdesai3276The illegal apartheid genocide occupation Jews ✡️ attacked Iran the sovereign country. The world 🌎 suffering the economic from the attack. The illegal occupation Jews ✡️ is the liability to the world 🌎 economies need to end.
@Saidshuailithey are probably using submarines for the blockade, since they are more difficult to detect
@nikoislandlife25Do we have confirmation of even one ship being intercepted by the US?
@arrM80Just need to blow out all those ports or cutter ships near ports so nothing can dock into those ports.
@Sinner85You thought you were going take advantage of the West by betting our sympathies, apathy, and overall reluctance to engage would help you? Who can blame you? We are those things until we aren't and then it's showtime. Guess what? It's showtime. You made a big mistake. You were told. For Israel and The USA have spoken.
@Obeytime-w4iSoon Iran will be begging for food. For Israel has spoken.
@Obeytime-w4iIt's going to be fun watching Iran lose every single revenue source to fund their country's operations. There's only one. They don't make anything. They don't produce anything. Except of course a war machine and a laboratory buried in a mountain. And now those endeavors are no more. You thought you had problems before and currently? You haven't seen anything yet. Sit back and enjoy the fun. For Israel and The USA have spoken.
@Obeytime-w4iThanks for explaining it clearly
@vikroy3777❤❤ AL JAZEERA ❤❤
@rafiquzzamanduke7475Good news there permanent peace deal in the next coming days because tho countries have decided to end all this war to end American blockade and forces trump and Iran to end all this - this two countries are Saudi Arabia and UAE it is over the is over
@abdullahisamaanm7930WHOAH - where did they get this orange popsicle from?
@politicas3361so, this whole thing was for her to play with the little figures?
How is the US blockade working? It is not. Shops are still going in and out if Iran wants them to go. It is called strategy. Will the US attack and take command of a Chinese ship?
Why is all Jazeera regurgitating US propaganda?
Enforce a blockade which no one can find. Don Tzu.
@aceheart5828China isn't going to put up with the US blockading their shipping.
@oldansloWhere exactly are US Ships ?
@sheikhmuthiah4606Respectfully, this lady is STACKED
@ritardstrength5169Al Jazeera has WAY better touch screen technology than the MSM
@piccalillipit9211President Trump and israel is doing good for the next generation, the Mulla mafia regime must be eliminated
