we are reaching a point in this debacle where we are forced to consider the reality that Trump really thought it was going to be a 3 day lightning bombing campaign and that would be that.
Ive been checking marinetraffic regularly and the reality is SOBERING
Ive included 2 lines in the following screenshot of the strait, the red one is the FORMER path used, the international recognized transit area, the green in the NEW path ships are forced to take or be attacked
This is not joke or hyberbole or hypothetical its ONGOING and has been for a week or so, all ships that pass through must go past the 2 iranian islands, stop for inspection and pay a 2 million yuan toll

they are now running a toll booth SUCCESSFULLY and there is very little we can do to stop it, they are STILL blowing up tankers with impunity
