"Effective immediately, the United States Navy ... will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," said the president in a social media post.
My guess is: There are some ships passing, so he’s blocking them too. Forcing China and Europe to make them act the way he wants. (TL’DR He liked the Iran’s plan and he’s coping it, he’s a fucking idiot)
I think this entire war was so Trump and the admin could personally enrich themselves by taking control of Iran’s oil in some way. They had success doing it Venezuela, and they were then convinced they could do it in Iran too. Attacking these countries would only produce limited, “well I agree, but don’t like the way he’s going about it” push back from establishment Dems and Western politicians in general. Israel “helping” is just a bonus, and provided further buy-in from the many Zionist politicians. They thought it would be a quick decapitation and puppeting like Venezuela was. I think Israel made things worse for the admin by bombing the people the admin had in mind for being the leaders.
your first sentence is the proper analysis. follow the money. they fucked up with the three day war so now they’re enriching themselves on polymarket. and the regular market. godsdamned insider trading
So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?

Yeah, he either wants a cut of Iran’s tolls or he thinks completely blocking the strait will make the other countries mad at Iran.
No, neither of those things make sense to normal human beings.

He heard Iran was charging for passage and wanted in?
Most likely this; he found another grift for himself to profit from.
Maybe the is the huge gift he referred to
Exactly this. He explicitly threatened to hunt down any ship that paid the toll.
So he wants to eventually toll his blockade, because Iran didnt cede to splitting tolls with him, such that each vessel pay two tolls? Holy hell…
Iran wants bitcoin? Now everyone needs to pay by trumpcoin.

Crummy ass Pseudo Prez
You’re not blockading me, I’m blockading you! I bet the gulf states regret giving him all those gifts now…
Time for another plane in NYC you say? /j (this is a joke i do not suppprt terrorism or religiouse violence)
Trump: Yo dawg, I heard you like blockades.
So I blockaded your blockade so you can stop overseas trade while I crash the markets.
You beat me to it.
Double negatives or something… He doesn’t need no education.
ofcourse he’s not blocking the blockade… he’s merely imitating it :D
And Iran probably shoots the first boat USA lets through, so USA wants to end the blockade by blockading, which will be blocked by Iran.
