"A US House of Representatives Resolution effectively requiring a naval blockade on Iran seems fast tracked for passage, gaining co-sponsors at a remarkable speed, but experts say the measures called for in the resolutions amount to an act of war.
H.CON.RES 362
calls on the president to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also "demands" that the President impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran.""
Here's the exact passage from the GPO:
I'll simplify the language by removing the superfluous wording, so most of us can understand it.
So we're going to inspect ALL persons entering or leaving Iran, and prevent ALL Iranian officials from entering or leaving Iran.
This sounds like an overt act of War to me.
There is a Senate version of this resolution as well, but it does not contain the same war-inciting language.
