The U.S. military’s naval blockade of Iran is relying on a significant amount of airpower to surveil the seas and protect maritime assets.

U.S. Navy Stages for Mine Clearance as Hormuz Blockade Begins - Naval News
USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) have become the first U.S. warships to transit the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the U.S.-Iran War, marking the opening phase of mine clearance and blockade operations, with additional forces en route.

Opening it for other countries but not for Iran. The other countries are actually more important to oil flow for China than Iran. Iran miscalculated badly whilst also making an enemy of pretty much everybody simultaneously.
They could have actually done it back then and succeeded, 'cause Iran didn't have the BMs to threaten GCC with. Should have gone in alongside Iraq under Bush 1.
I believe that US is Not able to find Worthwhile Military targets for Bombing
So they are just building up an Entirely new ISR picture and hence have stopped the bombings
They want the Iranians to move their assets around
Also their HUMINT assets will need time to report on where the Remaining Good Stuff has been hidden for now
China's been almost completely suppressed by Trump. It's silly to expect they will do anything nefarious when Trump is around.
They fear Trump's capacity for unleashing a mutual destruction of both the US and Chinese economies just to get what he wants. And he's around for 3 more years, enough time to practically push the Chinese back a decade.
The Americans realize they won't get what they want through normal means, ie, attacking the IRGC.
And pressure on the economy will also only work for a short while before Iran starts taking active measures of their own, like activating the Houthis in the Red Sea. The Saudis fear that possibility. The next one is Azerbaijan's pipeline.
This may be the last chance for talks before hostilities commence again. But it's difficult to say what Trump's appetite is for more action.
Pakistan negotiates with a gun to their head, the Iranians negotiate with a gun to everyone else's head. Interesting times though.
Thats a good signal. In next conflict with China ensure we have a suicidal stance with 300 nukes ready to blow chinese up.
Xi's busy cleaning house for a post-Trump era.
While he's unlikely to trouble the US over Taiwan, or find trouble with Russia or India, some smaller unwitting neighbor may have to deal with them. I'm thinking SCS.
I'm hoping the Republicans win the next presidential election too. Their focus on China and the Globalists is good for us.
It is indeed. What's your point?
Yemen will get blockaded too. And with Iran already blockaded, where will they get supplies from?
And besides, if oil can't come out of Hormuz due to Iran, it won't be sailing past Yemen anyway.
This is Trump's last term regardless of popularity or not. He has nothing to lose.
You live on a different planet. Your perception of reality is just off.

I think you just described what Iran did. It's military was destroyed, so it attempted to play blockade politics with the world's largest navy. It was Iran that moved to blockades first remember? They thought that everyone would just bow down and meet their demands, but instead they got their entire country blockaded and everyone else just carried on.
You have so much hate for The West that you can probably taste it in your mouth every morning.
