US doesn’t have near enough ships there to enforce an effective blockade. Doubtful they will send that number as it would cost tens of millions more dollars a day in that war.

I’m curious regarding Europe bound ships. Will the US block them instead?

Is the US seriously going to sink, or interdict these ships?! Of course not. And Iranian commerce isn’t dumb enough to sail under their own flag.
If Russia can keep shipping oil around the world with their ghost fleet, guess what everyone else can do.

What are they gonna do? They´re not gonna attack them.

Even Trump/Hegseth aren’t stupid enough to threaten Chinese tankers with military force in the name of a “blockade”.

Just wait until the orange idiot attacks China. Nothing is off the table with a demented old man with unchecked power.

What they going to do, attack the Chinese vessels? You will start WW3 by doing that.

Shame on you OP for not linking or reading the article.
“As the three vessels transiting the strait were not heading to Iranian ports, they are not covered by the blockade.”
How does sanction mean allowed and not allowed at the same time?

Yo lmao, yo someone tell Trump to fire a bullet at China lmao. We getting our asses whooped and are being logistically drained of our missil reserves and economic leverage and thats against a small and sanctioned country. I can’t imagine how badly our troops would get out shit rocked just because the money that was supposed to go to military preparedness goes instead to defense contractors’ pockets. Anything we say to China is a bluff. Our allies are now in trade talks with them. The US is cooked.
Though after all this is said and done I BET MONEY china extends a hand to the US in good faith for fair trade like they have the rest of the world

Not enough US ships present to conduct and effective blockade. And besides, China just told trump he’d get his ass whacked if he attacked any Chinese ships. And we all know what TACO does when braced. LOL.

China let their displeasure be known. The amount of US allies being fucked right now is astonishing

In reality what is trump going to do? Destroy the tankers. USA isn’t going to sink them. The tankers will just ignore trump.

BBC are reporting “at least 4 tankers”
Doesn’t sound like it’s much of a blockade
Is our Navy even trying?
