So much for Trump's bluster. Turns out that the US Navy isn't actually in the Strait or the Persian Gulf but is operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because they're scared of coming under fire from the Iranian navy and missiles that Trump said were 100% destroyed.
Given the size of that region it's not possible to stop Iranian linked vessels.

Trump, the most antiimperialist American president.
Shattered all military imperialist alliances and all the US soft power and any sense of US military strength.

Seems that the Iranian narrative of "what blockade?" is closer to the truth than Trump's bluster.

Is this "sanctioned" or "sanctioned"? Its one of those aladeen words that has two diametrically opposite meanings.
"Tabled" is another one.
