Trump Blockading the Strait of Hormuz

Bigger picture

The Hormuz saga keeps escalating: the UK contradicted Trump's coalition claims within hours, Spain vetoed NATO involvement, Iran is already taxing ships through the strait, and analysts warn a 32% global energy shortfall if Iran retaliates at Bab el-Mandeb. This is a unilateral American military adventure with no cover and enormous consequences.

Trump has ordered a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a move with catastrophic potential for global energy markets and zero allied support.
