[U.S. Plans Hormuz Strait Blockade Tactics: Air-Sea Joint Three-Dimensional Blockade] Reported by Jinse Finance, on April 14, according to the U.S. *The Atlantic* magazine, military officials stated that the formal blockade of the Hormuz Strait would first deploy air power. The blockade aims to prevent Iranian vessels and any other nations' ships departing from Iranian ports from passing through the strait into the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. At least two aircraft carrier strike groups or land-based air forces will be assigned to provide cover for naval forces responsible for monitoring the waterways. P-8 'Poseidon' patrol aircraft will be tasked with surveilling the waters and striking maritime targets, while E-2 'Hawkeye' early warning aircraft will fly above the fleet to detect threats and other aircraft. Additionally, the U.S. will deploy a large number of drone swarms to the strait region. (Jin10)
