On Monday, 13 April, at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, at the direction of the President,

America's Joint Force began implementing a blockade against Iran under the leadership of Admiral Cooper and the team at Sancom.

Let me be clear, this blockade applies to all ships, regardless of nationality, heading

into or from Iranian ports.

The U.S. action is a blockade of Iran's ports and coastline, not a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Enforcement will occur inside Iran's territorial seas and in international waters.

In addition to this blockade, the joint force through operations and activities in other areas of responsibility,

like the Pacific area of responsibility,

under the command of Admiral Paparo, will actively pursue any Iranian flagged vessel or any vessel

attempting to provide material support to Iran. This includes dark fleet vessels carrying Iranian oil.

As most of you know, dark fleet vessels are those illicit or illegal ships evading international regulations,

sanctions, or insurance requirements. More than 10,000 sailors, Marines, and airmen,

over a dozen ships and dozens of aircraft

are executing this mission.

This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

Pray for our enemies,

because we're going to medieval on these people.

You're going to get a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have

had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything

in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people

like that go to share the big line?

Maga Media.
