America is preparing to take tough measures. The United States has issued a final ultimatum! On March 11, the U.S. Central Command warned that U.S. forces urge Iranian civilians to immediately avoid all port facilities operated by the Iranian Navy. Iranian dock workers, administrative staff, and crew members of commercial ships should avoid using Iranian naval vessels and military equipment. The Iranian regime is using civilian ports along the Strait of Hormuz for military operations that threaten international shipping. This dangerous action endangers the lives of innocent people.
According to international law, civilian ports used for military purposes lose their protected status and become legitimate military targets. It is clear that this notice from the U.S. military is essentially a final ultimatum to Iran. What is the purpose of America's move? Simply put, it is forcing Iran to choose between two options. Either the Iranian navy's mine-laying ships and vessels must immediately withdraw from civilian ports, or Iran will have to prepare for an indiscriminate attack on its ports by the U.S. Forces. Obviously, the U.S. aims to completely destroy Iran's naval power and open up the Strait of Hormuz, making Iran lose its ability to block shipping.
Of course, what's funny about the U.S. side is that the U.S. strike on Iran itself violates international law, yet the U.S. still uses the name of international law to cover up its illegal actions, which is obviously using international law as a veil for its misdeeds. However, to be honest, even if the U.S. destroys Iran's maritime forces, can the U.S. completely prevent Iran from using drones and missiles to attack maritime targets? Obviously, the U.S. cannot do so. Therefore, although the U.S. is preparing to take harsh measures, it may not ultimately achieve its goal.
