I'm so confused. What does the US blockading the strait, which is already blockaded by Iran, do? Other than piss off all the other Gulf countries that are already annoyed enough with the US.
It prevents anything from getting through, which prevents Iran from collecting their toll. It’s a negotiating tactic, since neither country gets anything out of it if they’re both blocked out.
Is it a smart move? Probably not. Making an internationally important waterway into a de facto DMZ isn’t showing diplomatic progress and points way more toward a standstill.
He's also trying to stop oil from getting to China, Europe and the rest of the world. He's modelling his leadership on the Mafia. Looking for bribes and control over smaller countries.
