It sounds dumb. But the plan is to stop iran from selling oil. So, in once head, it might sound good. Now.. Will the US shoot at a chinese flagged ship though? Cause it's not iranian tankers. I mean... If you cant beat iran... How bad would a war with china be?
it makes sense, as much as anything in this pointless war does. But denying Iran the ability to collect tolls and let their allies through is a valid strategy. I don't imagine they're going to start taking potshots at ships that don't stop, but I don't think anyone wants to be boarded by the US Navy.

Did you say ”plan”. I think you are stretching the definition of that word just a little bit.🤭

Would it distract from the Epstein files?

I don't think any country would care about the blockade, they all should just go in and ignore it
