Rear Adm. Montgomery says the blockade is working

Retired Admiral Mark Montgomery discusses the effectiveness of the blockade in the Middle East, noting it has been successful in preventing Iranian crude oil sales and putting economic pressure on Iran. He believes the U.S. should maintain the blockade but be prepared to respond disproportionately if the Iranian regime attacks U.S. or allied interests. Admiral Montgomery supports the deployment of additional ships, including a Marine Expeditionary Force, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong military presence in the region. He also suggests taking advantage of the current situation to collaborate with Saudi partners in resolving the crisis.
