Counter‑blockade to Break Hormuz Siege

A focused 'blockade of the blockade' uses naval transits, mine‑clearance demonstrations, and targeted interdiction of ships tied to the adversary to defeat the opponent's economic siege without full-scale occupation. The strategy relies as much on signaling to insurers and shippers as on kinetic action: proving a route is passable and restricting the sanctioned actor's exports can reopen commerce while avoiding broad escalation. — This reframes wartime coercion at sea as a mix of naval signaling, market psychology (insurance), and targeted interdiction, with big implications for international law, energy markets, and escalation management.
