Mentioned this earlier. How far are we willing to go with this blockade if a country like China tries to pass through it?

Their propaganda machine is about as bad as the left's memes

They’re not getting through. It’s as simple as that.

So we capture Chinese vessels and detain Chinese sailors and risk them getting more involved? Or we let them through and risk other countries testing the blockade as well? I wish it was as simple as you think.

Instead of blowing all those boats let's see if they can be retrofitted for bay fishing.

WOW! As a result of the naval blockade, President Trump says he's getting CALLS from the "right people" when it comes to striking a deal with Iran
"We've been called this morning by the right people, the appropriate people, and they want to work a deal. They would like to work a deal."
Q: "Is it your anticipation, Mr. President, that other countries will assist in this effort to blockade Iran and those disputes?"
TRUMP: "Yeah, other countries are going to also. We don't need other countries, frankly, but they've offered the services. We'll let it be known probably tomorrow."

It is. They’re gonna make a U-Turn, just like the one earlier today did. China will put pressure on Iran to accept Trump’s ultimatum.

I don’t the USA has the will to enforce the blockade.

Imagine you're about to fire an employee who's been stealing from you for years.
You don't send in the guy from legal with a stack of complaints. Nah, you send in the nicest manager in the building. The one everybody likes. The one who always gives second chances.
And you tell him: "Go sit with them. See if they'll stop."
But you already know they won't stop. Then, why bother? well, because now the entire office watched the nice guy try, and the entire office watched them spit in his face, while pocketing a stapler before ducking out early.
That's what Trump just did with JD Vance.
Vance is the most diplomatic voice in the administration. Iran literally requested him by name. He represents the faction inside the US government that genuinely wanted to exhaust every option before escalation. Democrats, Republicans, and a huge chunk of the American public share that instinct.
So Trump sent him. Not because he thought Iran would fold. Because he needed the world to watch Iran refuse the one guy everybody agreed was fair.
And now? Nobody can say the US sent hawks to sabotage peace. Nobody can say Iran wasn't given a real chance. The man who wanted peace the most walked into that room, and Tehran flipped the table with the cameras rolling.
Twenty minutes later Trump announced a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
And if you still had any doubt about what Iran actually wants... they told you. Out loud. At the negotiating table.
They refused to stop funding Hamas. They refused to stop funding Hezbollah. They refused to stop funding the Houthis.
They refused to stop enriching uranium, and they refused to open the Strait without charging a $2 million toll per ship in crypto, like some dark web scammer.
They didn't just reject peace. They handed the world a signed confession that the regime's real priorities are nukes, terrorism, and extortion. In that order.
Iran didn't lose a negotiation. Iran lost the argument.
