The problem at this point is internal and political: declaring a blockade (thus restarting the war, a blockade is an act of war) *after* declaring a 'decisive military victory' would be a massively politically damaging decision for the administration.

And on the international stage, at this rate, France would soon sell Exocet to Iran like it’s the Falklands war again.

I’d certainly expect Korea and India to stop selling weapons to Israel, and India to consider selling to Iran, given who’s most affected by the blockade.

Fascinating how he's been able to dominate and shape the narrative in some areas, and here he just doesn't seem to have realized the enemy gets a say in that.

I still think he was just using that as a way to manipulate the financial markets and had no clue what it actually meant.
