Donald Trump’s latest strategy to ramp up pressure on Iran has been dealt an embarrassing blow after several ships defied his blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
Multiple Iran-linked tankers—including sanctioned ships and a Chinese-linked tanker—transited the vital waterway within hours of the U.S. Navy’s blockade taking effect.
The news raised immediate questions about the effectiveness of Trump’s plan, which was announced on Sunday after the collapse of U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad.
Why are people memeing about him chickening out? Did you want those tankets bombed? he made a dangerous and outrageous threat the fact that he didnt actually commit to it is the only laudable part of this
So the next time it happens people can ignore instead of thinking about wwiii
Yeah that seems to be the most likely outcome…
