U.S. Military Says It Will Blockade Iranian Ports

ISLAMABAD " The U.S. military said on Sunday that it will soon block ships from Iranian ports. It comes after the U.S. and Iran failed to reach an agreement in highly anticipated face-to-face peace talks, according to Vice President Vance, who is serving as Washington's lead negotiator.

The U.S. military's Central Command, also known as CENTCOM, on Sunday said the blockade would begin at 10 a.m. ET on Monday. However, CENTCOM said ships not using Iranian ports would not be impeded.

Comments

"The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman," CENTCOM posted on social media on Sunday.

"CENTCOM forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports."

Trump musta gotten bored with starving African famine children to death for tax cuts for the wealthy, and decided that Iranian civilians should be punished, too.

This should have been done from the get go, along with taking out the bridges and power plants. This is why we don't win wars anymore. Not ignoring the noise and just getting the job done.

Describe what winning this war looks like, and then describe the cost you're willing for other Americans to pay for it.

How many dead Americans is this worth. Ballpark figure.
