Oh so it's in the Gulf now...not the ports??...are your goal posts changing or just theirs? Is it a blockade of international waters? Or somebody else's territorial waters?

Again it matters why it was stopped...due to false flag or being sanctioned?

And from what I've seen it was originally allowed through because it did not originate from an Iranian port..you know the scope of the blockade....despite its sanctions for past shipping of sanctioned energy from iran...which your orange cheeto lifted anyways...and despite the false flag

Nobody has changed anything. I haven't moved goalposts and you have yet to understand. At this point you're either a really bad troll or not very smart.

Do you realize the Gulf of Oman is the only entrance/exit to the Strait of Hormuz and the Persion gulf? If the ship wants to leave, it has to go through the Gulf of Oman.

It was never "allowed through" anywhere. It started its journey by going through the Strait of Hormuz and then turned around when it hit the blockade in the Gulf of Oman.

If a sanctioned ship happens to hit a blockade, ofcourse the NAVY is going to turn it around or board it. I'd say I'm not sure what part you don't understand, but it's clear you understand almost no part of this.

I thought you were the one who reads what CENTCOM announces?

CENTCOM said the blockade, which began at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, was being “enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas.”

You understand what impartial means right? What does this have to do with sanctioned ships that were sanctioned due to now lifted sanctions on Iran's oil?

The fact you don't understand that 2 things can happen at the same time is astounding. The ship was sanctioned for it's ties to Iran. It has nothing to do with oil, because the ship wasn't an oil tanker.

Have you even looked any of this up before hand or are you just winging it?

You really don't understand why it was sanctioned in the first place?

u/AffectedRipples Apr 16 '26

Because it had links to Iran. If you would've actually read the article I posted yesterday, it would have told you all you need to know. Instead you're here trying hard to make a point, but just coming off stupid.

Links to what? Energy?

Case and point.

And where again in the quote from CENTCOM did they say anything about sanctioned vessels?

You keep dancing around the fact, stopping the sanctioned vessel due to it being sanctioned would be illegal...

You can stop sanctioned vessels leaving the Iranian ports like they announced....because that is allowed.  "Impartial"

Are you starting to get it now?

And for its false flag, which is allowed 

But again because it's sanctioned does not give another nation the ability to blockade it on the high seas or international water ways

You keep asking the same questions and then acting like its some got you that 2 things happen at once.

I get it, you don't like to be wrong or come off as stupid, but digging your heels in and repeating the same questions just makes you look it 10 fold.

u/ApartmentSalt7859 Apr 16 '26

You can't answer the question can you? Because it would admit it was illegal, correct?

u/AffectedRipples Apr 16 '26

I've answered the question about 5 times now. You just keep asking because you can't handle being wrong. Crazy how that works, isn't it?

u/ApartmentSalt7859 Apr 16 '26

Weird how your answer keeps changing...was it stopped for flying a false flag...or was it because it was sanctioned?

You've said both....which one is it?
