It will all break down because a naval blockade is incongruous with a “cease fire” and the Iranians, sooner or later, will reply to an USN engagement against a civilian Iranian ship....

Very posdible but even more possible is the 60 day deadline which is coming up fast. And a naval blockade cannot legally br seperated from the airstrikes because both involve military action and therefore both are subject to the same limits. Ans the use of the Spruance’s 5” gun cannot be seen as any different than the USS Charlotte’s sinking of the Iranian ship IRIS Dena. What does Trump do when thev60 days are up.?

None of it makes any sense. Trump is playing to his domestic audience. The rest of the world will just see the “blockade”/”cease fire” as the clown show it is and refuse to be a part of it.
