The blockade applies to any ship that visits Iranian ports, regardless of country of ownership or flag

Nice

Hmmm...makes one wonder just how many of these ships were bound for the Houthis, or Hezbollah, or carried weapons from China.

I don’t understand though. They say that some of the ships are being redirected to other Iranian ports. If they have other Iranian ports, can’t they just bring their Chinese weapons and things there? It’s like if you blocked Los Angeles International Airport you could always just send something to Detroit.

Based on reliable youtube channels, 170 tankers have changed their port plans and are heading to the USA.

Once - just once, I'd like for the commanding officer of a U.S. ship that stops a tanker to begin the conversation by asking, "Do you know why I've pulled you over? License, registration, and insurance papers, please!"

Regards,
