What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Aren't they also (supposed to) block only Iranian ships/from Iranian ports? Otherwise it'd be like a declaration of war.
Blocking ports is a act/declaration of war as well but I guess we are not doing that thing anymore.
They are already at war with Iran.
Yeah I know, de facto they are at war. But not de jure. As far as I know, congress hasn't declared war. Nor has trump, unless I've missed something.
But anyway, that was my point, there doesn't seem to be declaration of wars anymore. Just send in missiles and pretend its a police action, special military operation or whatever is the easiest way to get out of the legal responsibilities of an actual, declared war.
Sure, but it's definitely a war, declared or not, so yeah de facto, which is probably enough for the Iranians.
Do the same with China and the situation might be different IMO.
Yeah I'm not arguing that its not a war or anything. I'm just saying that the cunts have figured out that not officially declaring war gets them out of the legalities of war. And they have also figured out that no one will do anything about it.
Exactly! I think I just wanted to pile on on top of your comment. The whole situation is infuriating on so many levels.
Ah, gothca :)
Dunno about war, but the CENTCOM release is pretty clear-cut:
