Instead of taking the usual route through the Mediterranean and Red Sea, the USS George H.W. Bush is sailing the much longer route around Africa to reach the Persian Gulf.

The detour avoids Houthi-controlled waters like the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb.

Did not critique George at all. Pointed out how you misapplied his concepts to the modern age.
The US is being very smart about the blockade. It dangles prospects of peace to markets, which caps oil prices. That defangs Iran's main negotiating leverage, which is to cause panic and push oil prices higher. The mullahs are getting pushed into a corner.https://t.co/7lGPw7xLTz pic.twitter.com/UMcCZPKf17

If he makes it till the end of May I'll be shocked
He tried to crap on the US at every turn and lost leverage each time.
His greatest fear now is peace in Ukraine.
How wrong the critics have been. We coulda done this at any time and saved thousands of American lives. THIS president did what others jabbered about doing but didn't have the 'nads to do.
Oil is now $80 a barrel. When the war started it was $68 a barrel. The stock market is now higher than it was before the Iran war. Soon gas will be cheaper than before the Iran war too. https://t.co/zoD7zJdB7o

If the maritime blockade continues, it will be considered a violation of the ceasefire, and the Strait of Hormuz transit route will be closed.

You seem to be giving Iran credit for power and means it does not possess.

Well don't worry, your hero is winning the war. We are only giving Iran $20B for 60% uranium.
Makes Obama look shrewd. You idiots still think this guy is good for us.. Hoe much did it cost us to beat Iran? Watch you guys will tell us what a good deal it is...
