US-Sanctioned Tanker Linked To China Tests Trump Blockade With Hormuz Transit
This exit from the Persian Gulf is a second attempt for the carrier in less than 24 hours. Just as the blockade came into effect, Rich Starry was making its way into the narrow waterway near Iran's Qeshm Island and turned back - only to restart its exit just hours later, broadcasting that it has a Chinese owner and crew. This is a safety mechanism frequently used by vessels, but will test US resolve to challenge vessels tied to the world's largest oil importer.
That answers the question of what Trumpolini would do if the boat was protected by the Chinese. TACO TIME! 😛 Xi doesn't even need to send a gunboat to escort the tanker.
