Trump Reimposes Naval Blockade on Iranian Shipping Over Hormuz Standoff

⚓ BLOCKADE — Washington just named what CENTCOM was already running. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: CENTCOM coordinating 20 vessels daily was the operational blockade; Trump naming it makes it legal doctrine with binding consequences. Iran can now claim belligerent blockade under international law, unlocking escalation options it previously lacked. Gulf states hosting US assets absorb new exposure. Any neutral vessel complying becomes a participant; any that refuses becomes a target.
