( Beginning of the Siege )
Launch of a U.S. military operation now aimed at besieging and seizing the Strait of Hormuz from Iran:
1- Any Iranian military movement will be struck
2- Trump has issued his orders now to the Navy to move
3- Trump received a briefing from JD Vance
4- Trump says that every ship in international waters paying fees to Iran will be tracked and intercepted
5- Trump says that Iran will not be allowed to profit from imposing illegal transit fees and this is an act based on extortion
What exactly are you talking about? The act of war against Iran took effect on February 28, 2026.âEffective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.â
That is an act of war. If this was a military operation or extended raid, it just, legally became a war.
Iran was the first to block the Strait of Hormuz. The US just extended the blockade to include Iran. Though interdicting other nation's ships probably won't go over well.âEffective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.â

Itâs not supposed to, itâs telling Iran if you want to play this game then we can play it as well. It is absolutely an escalation.Iran was the first to block the Strait of Hormuz.

And the price of oil goes up!!Itâs not supposed to, itâs telling Iran if you want to play this game then we can play it as well. It is absolutely an escalation.
As far as increased kinetic actions that remains to be seen.
TAMPA, Fla. â U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, in accordance with the Presidentâs proclamation.
The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.
well yeah what did we expect, Iâll say what other have said I will pay more at the pump for a interim period. If it means the IRGC neutered of removed.And the price of oil goes up!!

That sound like a total blockaid which would include Chinese and Indian Ships.
Oh never mind.Thanks for calling or texting me everyone?
Might happen tomorrow, I don't see Iran just being idle while the US prevents them from accessing the strait. At first I thought it'd be a total blockade, but what centcom posted makes more sense.Until hostilities truly resume, meaning renewed kinetic action, Iâll be hands off and taking my first break in two months. But the moment fighting restarts, Iâll be right back here reporting EVERY SINGLE detail.
bets are on tuesday at the latestMight happen tomorrow, I don't see Iran just being idle while the US prevents them from accessing the strait. At first I thought it'd be a total blockade, but what centcom posted makes more sense.
