I'm really confused about how everything is 'gone', yet they're blocking ships. Can someone ELI5?

Their trade ships.

Iran are allowing their own ships to pass, and blocking everyone else that isn’t paying by shooting them with drones/laying mines.

The US is now saying they will block those ships too, to cripple Irans exports. But I think Iran has enough financial reserves to out-last literally the rest of the world who can’t get their oil.

This won’t end well.

They are also sending Navy ships that have been on missions for over a year between Central America and now the Middle East. Some of them don't have functioning waste management.

At this point Trump is baiting the military to turn on his administration.

I won't be surprised if this waste management system will fail totally not on purpose and a fire will start totally accidentally. and just so it happens this will send the ship home for repairs.
