๐บ๐ธ๐ฅ CENTCOM CHIEF CLAIMS "DEVASTATING COSTS" ON IRAN โ But the Blockade Is Illegal, and Iran Still Stands
Admiral Brad Cooper says the US naval blockade is "ironclad," Iran has no sea exports, and the IRGC is desperate. Here's what he left out.
๐ข Blockade "remains in place" โ Iran has no exports or imports by sea, except permitted humanitarian aid.
๐ข๏ธ $25 billion in crude exports prevented; $350 million in crypto assets frozen.
๐ธ Iran's government is withholding salaries and pensions โ IRGC not paying its troops; militias funnelling money back to the IRGC.
โ Strait remains open โ 400 merchant ships in the last 7 days; over 100 million barrels of crude shipped with US assistance.
๐ 20+ civilian mariners killed by IRGC attacks since February.
