US Military Pledges Strict Enforcement of Iran Naval Blockade

⚓ HORMUZ — Enforcement pledge arrives while Rezaee's deadline still runs. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: A formal US commitment to strict blockade enforcement signals CENTCOM is not pulling back regardless of the ultimatum — it answers Rezaee's "total offensive" threat with a posture statement, not a military one. With six transits in 24 hours versus 130 pre-war, the blockade is already near-total; the pledge is political signal to Gulf allies rattled by Kuwait and Bahrain strikes.
