AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Mark Warner, the Democratic senator from Virginia and the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, "I don't understand how a 'blockade of the strait' is supposed to force the Iranians to 'open' it!"
"This blockade will not weaken Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz."
"The Iranians have hundreds of fast boats that can still mine the strait or close it by planting bombs on tankers. How is this supposed to lower gas prices?"
