Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps warned on Sunday that any military ships approaching the Strait of Hormuz will be viewed as violating the two-week ceasefire and would be dealt with “harshly and decisively.”

In a statement carried by Iranian state media, the IRGC said the strait remains under the “smart management” and control of Iran’s navy and that the waterway remains open for non-military vessels, but that military ones would get a “forceful response.”

No word yet on whether U.K. will send minesweepers, as Trump said.

      I’m kinda gonna have to go with the broken clock rationalization for this one, as stupid and self-inflicted as the situation is. Blockading Iran’s blockade denies Iran the toll they wanted.
