My understanding is that only certain ships were passing through. Ships that are headed for China or Russia (Chinese/Russian ships?) are passing through? Now, no ships are passing at all creating pressure on Iran to come back and renegotiate and get the SoH opened again. I believe that’s what’s happening here, but someone more knowledgable can chime in and correct me

Creating a naval blockade is an act of war. Our blockade affects China, Korea, Japan, etc. We’re basically attacking China without congressional authorization, the orders given by one man overnight on a weekend.
As a thought experiment, imagine if Denmark were to blockade the North Sea or imagine China did a blockade of the Panama Canal? How would the US and the world react?
Yeah, I get it, Iran did it first, but that was after we bombed them, assassinated their leadership, bombed an elementary school, etc.
I thought we obliterated Iran’s nuclear program back in June? That’s what the administration told us. Why’d we have to bomb them for another five weeks this spring? Why did the peace talks breakdown over “nuclear” when the “nuclear" is obliterated?
Thanks trump for ruining my profit sharing check.

P.S. it is disgusting how they are trying to drag Melania through the mud with false allegations.

If there was anything substantive in there Biden's team would have released it quicker then you can say auto-pen. But there isn't. By the way I find it ironic that the same party who ignored the worst kept secret in Washington D.C., Eric Swalwell's sexual deviancy, did not say a word about it until they realized it may allow a Republican to win the California Governorship. Now they care? lol, spare me the fake outrage.
