US Marines Board Gulf Vessel as CENTCOM Enforces Iran Port Blockade
⚓ BOARDING — Marines on deck: the blockade just got boots on ships. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: US Marines boarding — not just redirecting — shifts enforcement from standoff to physical occupation. One resistant crew, one miscalculation: contact risk multiplies. Three vessels redirected, one disabled alongside. CENTCOM is establishing belligerent blockade precedent under international law, which formally activates Article 51 reciprocity rights for Tehran.
