Neat. I do wonder what the US next steps will be. If one tanker can go, a second can go. If a second can go, they can all go. Is Trump actually going to start blowing up civilian tankers in the region? It's the only way to make good on the blockade, but it seems so outlandish. History is indeed happening
Trump has already engaged in piracy of tankers in the Caribbean.
Stealing tankers is one thing; blowing them up is another.
They can't commandeer all of them.
