    That’s because the US Navy isn’t actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It’s not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed.

      Yep. The US Navy is afraid to enter the straight because Trump lied about who controls it but lies don’t stop missiles.
