A naval blockage of another country is an act of war. The opposing country can take action against that blockade, and the country imposing the blockage can and will defend the means it is using to impose that blockade.

Hostilities between the U.S. and Iran have in fact NOT been “terminated” or even officially ended. Whether or not the U.S. is targeting places in Iran with bombs, missiles or drones, as long as the U.S. is enforcing the naval blockade on Iran the conditions of war still exist.

Of course. But we live in an age where we say “conflict” or “kinetic action” instead. Oh, and sometimes “police action” too.

There’s really no difference between those things and a war.

But it’s a handy way to get around the Constitution.
