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.

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-tu8gj

Personally, I'm on our side.

The blockade will end in a week when the ceasefire is over unless we want to sacrifice our sailors for isreal

CHINA 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-k4s
@

Don’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.

US 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?

The 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.

If 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?

So basically Trump's strategy is to bring sailors within easy target range of Iranians missiles.

@markdunigan805

If 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.

@RipMinner
@

I 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.
