Your attention is needed for just 5 minutes.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Everyone’s talking about the U.S. blockade… but the real question is why it took 6 weeks to even happen.$HOLO
The U.S. had 18 warships there before the first bomb even dropped. Locking Hormuz was never the issue.$GUA
They held off because blocking Iranian oil early would have pushed prices even higher while a war was already going on, so tankers kept moving for weeks.$FORM
Then came the push to open the strait.
Trump said it was open on March 9. It was not. Asked NATO and China on March 15, both said no. Military operations started March 19. It still did not work.
Iran kept Hormuz effectively shut for 6 weeks using mines, drones, missiles, and fast boats.
Now here is the key part… Iran does not even need to fight the blockade.
It already has around 160M barrels floating at sea heading to China, enough to fuel a country like Germany for over 2 months.
China’s defence side is openly saying the route is open for them, and at the same time military cargo flights are landing in Tehran during the ceasefire.
So while the blockade goes up, oil is still quietly moving.
The global impact is already showing. Oil crossed $100. Dow futures dropped 517 points.
And U.S. allies like Britain, France, and even NATO stayed out of the blockade.
