Six ships turned around as part of Strait of Hormuz blockade, US military says

[Cellblock2429]

I didn't express any outrage at all.

Have you considered switching to decaf?

Yes, Iran's blockade also amounts to global economic terrorism.

/—-/ I’ve been on decaf for ages. The blockade is a non violent way of bringing Iran back to the bargaining table. You prefer bombs?

Threats of destruction and armed robbery are not nonviolent.


In any universe, by any measure.

No ships have made it past the US naval blockade of Iran's ports and coastal areas, and six merchant ships have followed orders to turn back, the US military said on Tuesday, providing the first details on a day-old effort ordered by President Donald Trump after peace talks between the US and Iran broke down.

The US military has said that the blockade, which started on Monday, would apply only to ships going to or from Iran, including all Iranian ports on the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.

"During the first 24 hours, no ships made it past the US blockade and six merchant vessels complied with direction from US forces to turn around to re-enter an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman," the US military's Central Command said in the statement.

More than 10,000 US military personnel, more than a dozen warships, and dozens of aircraft were enforcing the blockade, it said.

"The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas," the statement added.

US says ships crossing without authorization will be captured​

In a note sent to seafarers on Monday about the blockade, the US military said: "Any vessel entering or departing the blockaded area without authorization is subject to interception, diversion, and capture."

The Monday note said the blockade would include all of Iran's coastline, but humanitarian shipments, including food, medical supplies, and other essential goods, would be permitted, subject to inspection.

Trump announced the blockade following the breakdown of weekend talks to end the six-week-long war between the US and Iran, sending ⁠oil prices back above $100 a barrel.

The blockade adds to uncertainty about how ships will transit the crucial waterway, which carries one-fifth of the world's oil and gas supplies.

Now we will have to see if Iran will attack other ships in the Gulf.

Trump is teaching Iran a much needed lesson.

Trump is teaching Iran a much needed lesson.

Yep, and that lesson is to get a nuclear weapon to keep Republican US presidents from invading.

I agree with you. It would have been cheaper in the long run to just destroy Iran's ports, but President Trump has been clear that he wants to preserve as much of Iran's infrastructure as possible for when the Iranian people get their country back.

President Trump has not been clear about anything. He just pulled this scheme out of thin air a couple of days ago because his other schemes were turning out how every President before him has predicted.

/—-/ it’s a blockade. Who threatened to kill? Back up your claim. You just can’t make accusations with no proof no matter how much you hate Trump.
