Just a point of clarification on the blockade. The American blockade is in place.

There are two blockages. The original Iranian one that collected a toll and prevented "hostile country" vessels from entering and exiting.
That is the one that the iranian Foreign minister said was off. Then others in Iran said it was not off.
The American Naval blockade prevents ships from leaving if they have visited Iranian Ports. That one is still ongoing.
So the Iranians have still lost their trade revenues.

They're blockading our blockade of their blockade?

Yeah the goal is to blockade Iran.
Iran blockading and attacking neutral countries for transiting the strait has nothing to do with the American blockade of Iran.
Iran can not touch the US blockaders, so they attack the ships of "neutral" countries like India because it is all they can do.
And it is a safe bet, because India is weak and wont do anything other than complain about it.

It’s now becoming obvious that
1) Irans “mining” of the strait was a bluff/ lie. Like everything else this evil regime lies about and
2). This “collecting a toll” was a myth as well. They have no central command, no internet, no infrastructure to collect and no working banking system to administer and control any collection. So unless there are 2 guys in a rowboat with a wire basket “collecting” that is bullshite.

Yes. And then the UK and France will get together a coalition and monitor the blockading of their blockade to our blockade of their blockade.

You do realize that India has been a nuclear power since 1974 and currently has an estimated 190 nuclear warheads, right?

Do you realize that those nukes might as well not exist for all the help they provide in this case? India is not going to use nukes on Iran, so in order to do something about this they would have to march an army across Pakistan and attack Iran, or send their navy to the Persian Gulf and attack there. So I think the post to which you responded is correct - India is too weak to do anything about this.

They were collecting it in crypto. So yes, they got paid. The question is who's wallet was it?

The story a couple weeks ago was that they were charging/being paid in cryptocurrency. Possible but probably bullshite, as well...

At times like this I wish I had played more games of Battleship as a child.

Thanks. I’m aware of the story.
My position is the same.
I think they are full of shite
But that’s my default position for this regime. Always has been

I’m still new to this.
Is there any chance that a Saudi-filled vessel could still surreptitiously fill a Chinese refinery?
