the USA is at war with lran ! total war … so USA’s warships are targets.
why hasn’t lran hit them already ? because lran honours its ceasefire (unlike lsreal).
soon as China has decided whether they want to bring ships closer (risk war with USA) … getting the USA to maybe back off ?
then lran can decide which warship to hit first. (they can’t miss ! a warship is a HUGE target …)

So AmeriKKKan Soldiers volunteered to block the ports of a sovereign nation. There should be no sympathy for any AmeriKKKan soldier losing his life for fighting this unjust war. AmeriKKKa a the instruction of their ZIONIST masters chose to attack Iran unprovoked. Now Trump and his band of Nazis will send the sons of AmeriKKKa to die for his war.
@Dino-vo9roI don't have electric car, I can't buy electric car so expensive, all people this world still using car with oil, everyone needs oil for they work and for make money for life, before you do this Iran sale petrol cheap, but now so expensive, oh my god, can this act not disturbed all people in the world, so selfish
@rarabarara5775Why are China still pay tolls and buying oil Maga Mr. PRESIDENT looking mighty weak the straight is not closed U S just can't get a pass its obvious ,sink a Russia or China ship to prove your point.!
@moveitback1Ansar Allah has entered the chat
@CircaBEFOREI can’t wait til the petrodollar is ashes.
The US is psychopathic and sadistic and has no business holding the world’s economy hostage.
The answer to the headline question is that NO ONE knows how a blockade might work since the Trump Administration is making all this up on the fly.
@Thomas23-tu8gjPersonally, I'm on our side.
@JoeM-mt3suThe blockade will end in a week when the ceasefire is over unless we want to sacrifice our sailors for isreal
@gasman43Iran can bypass, GOOGLE pipeline from persian gulf to gulf of oman via uae
@bestCalendarCHINA BOUND SHIP "RICH STARRY" PASSED HORMUZ IN THE MORNING. USA COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. INDIAN FEW BATTLESHIPS ALREADY THERE EQUIPPED WITH BRAHMOS SUPERSONIC CRUISE MISSILES, WORLD'S FASTEST AND DEADLIEST, ESCORTING INDIAN SHIPS. CHINA WILL ALSO BE SENDING ITS WARSHIPS TO ESCORT. USA WARSHIPS WILL BE DROWNED NEAR HORMUZ OR ARABIAN SEA. USA DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE AGAINST STATE OF THE ART INDIAN AND CHINESE WARSHIPS
@DeepakKannur-k4sDon’t worry about it, US ships will be at least a thousand miles off shore out of missile range. The old saying, a ship is a fool to fight a fort !!! That’s why our carriers quit and went home, so to speak.
@marshalltodd2241US Gulf allies will not be able to ship out their oil for much needed $$$...soon they will be forced to dump US bonds to fund their welfare state..Has Trump even though about that?
@DariusRoseyThe world deserve to suffer because their leaders are spineless to stand against the Rogue USA and its illegal attack on smaller and weaker countries. Terrorising of 3rd world must stop.
@traleyton8057If China was going to send a naval ship to escort their tanker then why shouldn’t they send a warship to help end the BS in waterways in the first place?
@MonkeyWrench89You really think the Chinese are going to bring their ships to go against ours!? You know better than that
@rongoelz3675Freeway for international Waters the US Navy must do the job for free passages of ship😮😮
@johnkalo8643This so called Dr. Is BS.
@woodsongreatjourneySimilar to when Kennedy did blockcade of cuba in 1962.
@mranimalbThis guy is an idiot.
@jaiea7280So basically Trump's strategy is to bring sailors within easy target range of Iranians missiles.
President Epstein the genius 😂
Why is gas in California 7$ if we aren’t dependent on others for oil ?
@boogiesmula559Dunno, will do it as we go. By his excellency trump.
@Herodotus__Ueah, Iran is blocking it... Thats how it will work... usa 😂😂😂😂😂
@stephenroldan5107There is a naval warfare rule never put a lot of assets in a small confined area .
Bad idea
❤😂🎉
@OfficialYtRomeotesting comment
@toolazygamerRemember that flagship they used to have? 🤔🤨🤗🤫😘
@markdunigan805If your thinking a blockade of a blockade make's no sense your thinking right. It makes sense when you know the straight was open and ships were paying none US dollars to pass and America did not like that so they really Blockaded Iran's formally open toll booth and now it makes some sense.
@RipMinnerI think the Dr has not seen the new report about blockade for any ships whose loads originate from Iran. This means rest of the countries like Saudi, UAE can ship their products. Basically blocking Iran economically which is a brilliant idea.
@SrikantSunkaraPete Hegseth has more oil in his hair than the strait of Hormuz has going through it
@monicacowan8332Bypass it.
@G-ro4isLike all of Trump's ventures it will not work the only question is how horribly will it go wrong 🤦🏻♂️
