TRUMP: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, UNITED STATES NAVY WILL BEGIN PROCESS OF BLOCKADING ANY AND ALL SHIPS TRYING TO ENTER, OR LEAVE, STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

Blockading a blockade

This is intended to prevent Iran from making money but they don’t need the profits right now to pressure the U.S. and gulf countries.

Can you see how there was no real plan beyond “man I hope the whole thing collapses because we decapitated.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Japan gets 93% of their oil through the Strait of Hormuz, South Korea roughly 45%, but neither country has really helped us.

I asked them if they'll help us? We have 45,000 troops in Japan, 50,000 in South Korea. We protect them. But when we ask for some help, they don't," - President Trump tells Fox News.

Muh occupation force is actually much needed support for your peaceful countries.

It’s not clear what condition the IRGC are in but the writing is on the wall. You aren’t going to be replenishing your ballistic missile stocks or anything of the sort. From a defense perspective now is the time to strike. Dont wait for your enemy to restart on his schedule and do even more damage to your attrited capabilities.

Maybe this break has been a good thing for the IRGC, given time to restore communications and potentially disperse assets but I have a feeling that the next round of fighting will be different.

Should’ve just kept fighting in my opinion.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- The US Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has now begun.

"The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports." - U.S. Central Command.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇸🇦⚡- "There is no solution other than land entry into Iran - but a governmental alternative must be established.

There is no solution other than a ground military entry by the US into Iran and a repeat of the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003.

But this time we need to find a successful, acceptable, and secular alternative government on the Iranian street. It would be better if it wasn't Reza Pahlavi.

There is no other solution. They should treat this like the Saddam Hussein regime, and recreate the Bush administration's experience.

The war has not achieved its results, and Iran is continuing with its nuclear program, and has even become more aggressive towards us, towards you [Israel], and towards the US and its interests in the region and the world," - A Saudi Royal tells Israeli Channel 12.
