U.S. Central Command announced the blockade would involve all Iranian ports, beginning on Monday at 10 a.m. EDT, or 5:30 p.m. in Iran, to be “enforced impartially against vessels of all nations.”
Inside Iran, there was new exhaustion and anger after months of unrest that began with nationwide protests against economic issues and then political ones, followed by weeks of sheltering from U.S. and Israeli bombardment.
“We have never sought war. But if they try to win what they failed to win on the battlefield through talks, that’s absolutely unacceptable,” Mohammad Bagher Karami said in Tehran.els of all nations.”

Blockade of enemy ports and waterways has always been seen as a prelude to full-fledged war action.
The American vise is slowly closing on the mullah-driven world of Iran.
At some point in time, Iran's giant Islamic cult will come face-to-face with United States military force in the bureaucratic hallways of Tehran.
Apparently a new more amenable regime is about to replace the present fanatic-driven activities of the current Iranian political world.

“We have never sought war. But if they try to win what they failed to win on the battlefield through talks, that’s absolutely unacceptable,” Mohammad Bagher Karami said in Tehran.
Who the hell is that the frauds at AP are quoting?
Making it sound like we lost the war and the Iranian people are against us.

Y’all know in the Moslem religion it is
perfectly OK to lie and deceive non
believers?
No treaty, law, or agreements they make with
non-believers is morally enforceable
in their religion.
I’d trust a contract
made with an Atheist
more than one made with
a Moslem.
Jesus is risen!
If the US has taken real control of the Strait of Hormuz and is able to control open passage, then the Iranian regime cannot last long once their ports are closed and they can no longer export oil. However unless the threat of those very effective drones is eliminated, few ships will attempt passage or wish to sail in the Persian Gulf. Does the US have the technology to eliminate the drone threat? The Apaches and A 10s cannot get them all. There has to be a radar/electronic technology to disrupt them as soon as they take flight. They are usually fired less than 200 miles from target and are in the air for less than ten minutes Some sources report that Iran at the beginning of this conflict has up to 30,000 drones. Bit surprised that Mossad/CIA has not been able to identify where they are stored or their launch locations.
Terminate with extreme prejudice! And help the Saudis build additional pipelines to deliver oil to markets without going through the Strait of Hormuz. Nullify this threat into the future.
Any threats of drones or mines will paralyze merchant ship movement in Persian Gulf waters due to loss of insurance coverage.
President Trump realizes that only his direct control from Tehran Central can eliminate the threat of the thousands of drones that Iran ostensibly maintains.
A strike into and occupation of Tehran's military control centers are essential to the elimination of this threat.
And the sooner the better.
We can stop their drones as they are slow moving but stopping their missiles is another matter. Iran has also acquired anti-ship missiles from China. None of the military analysts I’ve seen think this is a viable option (except for that idiot Gen Keane on Fox). Just more blustering from Trump.
It would be a simple matter for Iran to destroy the Saudi pipeline with a missile so I wouldn’t count on that being around or long.
1200 mph drones?
What have they waiting for?
Are they just holding back until they get really mad at the Great Satan?
They’re all over Iran on the backs of pick up trucks. Hard to take out every truck that has them. Probably need and EMP weapon to disable them.
“None of the military analysts I’ve seen...”
Yeah. What you’ve seen on pro-Iran broadcasts or what our intel indicates. Trust our military or your broadcasters.
Tough choice. Not.
We wiped out everything in their Navy down to the last rubber dingy from zhong Kong, and they haven't managed get get off one miraculous magic celestial anti-ship missile at us. We transited the strait today with slow crawling mine sweepers and nothin! Bug threat!
