Trump saying they will block all ships going through the strait was him just being dumb and misunderstanding what was going on. The military later clarified that the US will block all ships going to and coming from Iran. So it's a blockade of a single country.
No, Trump claimed that the US would blockade any ships that paid Iran's toll.
My point still stands. Trump didn't know what he was talking about. It's a blockade of Iran at the moment.
That might be because it would be pretty hard to figure out who paid the toll in real time, but that's what was clarified.
