🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. blockade has a legal loophole big enough to sail a supertanker through. Ex U.S. Navy Malcolm Nance says CENTCOM's own lawyers defined the blockade narrowly: only vessels moving oil out of Iranian ports are subject to interception. Ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz with other cargo are legally untouchable, and over 100 sanctioned vessels operate in the Russian-Iranian-Venezuelan shadow fleet, routinely repainting names and changing registration to evade scrutiny. Iran's read: let the oil price spike, let the pressure build on Washington, then declare victory when the blockade quietly fades. @MalcolmNance
