If you exit the strait, you're still near Iranian waters. Also, I question the extent to which Murica can "freely interdict" Chinese ships, or whether they want to interdict Indian ships.
Our fleet is parked there. The Iranians aren't doing anything about it.
As far as I know, they tried approaching the Iranian coast but were then fired upon, so now they're staying well clear of it.
You have no idea what's happening now.
Thank you for your input without substance, Israel Firster who followed me over from PDW.
You know you don't have to approach the coast to interdict ships, right?
I know close to nothing of the subject, but it is my understanding that you have to approach the ship. If a ship is heading from Iran to China, I think it's going to move east, and not south, so at the very least, anyone trying to pirate it (interdict is to pirate as kinetic action is to war, right) will have to approach the Iranian coast.
You may freely question.
The question was posed to someone with sense, not you.
Your question was rhetorical, not posed to anyone. And the situation hasn't arisen yet. It'd be nice if it never does because this gets resolved before it comes to that, but somehow I doubt that will happen.
Oh? I thought you were really gung ho on this (definitely not a) war?
