Max AfterburnerAbout 20 empty Iranian oil tankers are stranded off Sri Lanka as the U.S. Navy blockade of Iran keeps Tehran’s shadow fleet from getting home, and Iran’s U.N. delegation was told to leave the U.S. a day early. Former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot Max Afterburner breaks down how a naval blockade actually works, from the E-2D Hawkeye and F/A-18 Super Hornet to Aegis destroyers, and why Iran is running out of options as it weighs America’s answer to its 7-day ceasefire plan. Also in this one: the U.S. completes its withdrawal from Iraq as Iran-backed militias refuse to disarm, the IRGC claims a ballistic missile that hits moving targets, and Russia’s 20-hour drone and missile assault on Kyiv.
