Any US-aligned ships which go into the strait of Hormuz without Iran’s blessing will probably be hit by a bunch of drones and sunk. The US wants their puppet states to act as bullet sponges so that fewer Americans die.
Doubtful. But they probably can’t send more without officially having to declared a war. Which Trump alone can’t do. So they are asking other nations to come save him from his own domestic misconduct.

There is no mechanism to enforce that, besides impeachment. And there are no guidelines in the Constitution about what the threshold is for declaring war.
There’s the War Powers Act, but that only matters if Congress attempts to enforce it.
Why wouldn’t he be able to send more warships? AFAIK the only legal limit imposed on the Presidency is a 60 day limit on how long they can deploy troops without declaring a war. However, this has been mostly ignored by US Presidents since the law was passed decades ago. The only part of that law they do follow is notifying Congress.
I honestly don’t know. I can’t say I’m an expert, it was more of an educated guess. Maybe it’s difficult to justify sending more seeing as they’ve already declared victory…
US is out of warships? Didn’t see this comming.

I see they’ve learned from the Israelis and the Saudis.
They just don’t want headlines about any of those ships being sunk.
