U.S. Navy plays traffic cop in the Strait of Hormuz with a 20-ship blockade
Things in the Strait of Hormuz are getting crowded, as the U.S. adds more ships to its growing blockade list.
The U.S. military is busy playing a high-stakes version of red-light-green-light in the Strait of Hormuz. They just added another 20 vessels to the list of ships getting turned away from Iran. That brings the total to 55 redirected commercial ships in just over a week.
The strategy seems to be strangling the economy instead of going to war. Donald Trump is basically watching from the sidelines, betting that Iran will cave once the treasury runs dry. Meanwhile, the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi is busy trying to find new routes through Oman, but for now, the bottleneck is real.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop while the global economy holds its breath.
