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?

The blockade is a non violent way of bringing Iran back to the bargaining table.

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.

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.

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

I suspect whoever remains among the Muslim terrorist mob illegally ruling Iran today may have serious problems going forward after Trump has bombed so much of their nuclear program back to the dark ages and since Trump has shut off the US democrat funding of their WMD development program.

Here are six videos of Democrats calling for violence or physical confrontations that are still active on Twitter

by Emma Colton, Social Media Editor |

Videos of Democrats during the Trump administration calling for their supporters to confront Republicans physically or warning of “civil unrest” on the streets are still active on Twitter.

Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Ted Lieu, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Joaquin Castro, Sen. Jon Tester, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have all made comments suggesting violence or confrontations against Republicans. All of their Twitter accounts remain active, while the videos themselves are also circulating on the massive social media site.

Rep. Maxine Waters, for example, notably called for her supporters to harass Trump administration officials in public during a rally in 2018.

“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said.

Waters is far from alone, with Rep. Lieu warning President Trump that same year on MSNBC that there would be “widespread civil unrest” if the president fired special counsel Robert Mueller.

New Jersey’s Booker was also recorded in 2018 urging activists at the National Conference on Ending Homelessness to "get up in the face of some congresspeople.”

"Before I end, that’s my call to action here. Please don’t just come here today and then go home," he said. "Go to the Hill today. Get up, and please get up in the face of some congresspeople."

Then in 2019, Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro said Democrats would “fight [Trump] and challenge him in every way that we can in the Congress, in the courts, and in the streets and protests,” regarding if Trump declared a national emergency.

Also in 2019, Tester said on MSNBC that the way to beat Trump in the election was to “punch him in the face.”

“I mean, the truth is this guy is bad for this country,” he added.

Then in 2020, House Speaker Pelosi said during a National Governors Association meeting that when a person is involved with politics, “you have to be ready to take a punch, and you have to be ready to throw a punch.”

Grabien founder Tom Elliott recently shared videos of Democrats making such comments on his Twitter account, and said that the violence seen at the Capitol last Wednesday would have occurred even if Trump had won in November, “Because Democrats have been endorsing violence as a political tactic throughout the Trump Administration.”

Trump was banned from both his Twitter and Facebook accounts last week after his supporters stormed the Capitol building. The social media giants both cited a fear the president would use the platforms to incite further violence.

"We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. "Therefore, we are extending the block we have placed on his Facebook and Instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete."

I prefer Trump's way of addressing the Iranian threat over the democrat plans.
