During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Baghdad fell within 3 weeks of US invasion. Under Epic Fury, we're 2 months in blockading a blockade.

Do you really think they have control over the straight?

We just pushed ships through it.

Doesn't charging "tolls" to travel an international waterway constitute piracy?

It's cute how the reporter presents Iran's announcement as if it's final and nothing can be done to counteract it.

Bonus: Reporter saying "Mr. Trump" instead of "the President" or "President Trump", and pretending like he doesn't know the name of the operation.

Actors reading scripts, indeed...

They have significantly restricted access of the Straight. A few ships getting through signals they don't have 100% control.

The Straight of Hormuz is recognized globally as an international strait for the free passage of merchant vessels.

Any management of the Strait of Hormuz should come from a coalition of nations from the ME and other nations who depend on the free movement of trade through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran should not and must not have sole control over the strait.

Control means they let ships in and out.

They cant let anyone in and out.

They can't get their own ships out.

Why do you want to twist the English language to make yourself seem more foolish?

Did we invade Tehran or just absolutely destroy the ability of Iran to go to war?
