Does sanction in this case mean allowed or forbidden?
Cuz this stupid word has two contradicting meanings lol
In this sense, forbidden. You’re correct in other situations it would mean allowed.
The Rich Starry, a chemical tanker blacklisted by Washington in 2023 for carrying Iranian oil products, moved through the strait hours after the blockade began, ship tracking data from Marine Traffic and Kpler shows.
Isn’t Rich Starry the artist who draws animals in vehicles?
No, that’s Richard Scarry
No, its a chemical tanker that draws animals on vehicles

In international politics, sanction usually has the negative meaning
The blockade isn’t being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed. They’ve got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that’s going on.
