Claim 1: “China is watching as the U.S. fails to cut through an Iranian blockade”
MISLEADING
The claim states the U.S. 'fails to cut through an Iranian blockade'. However, the evidence shows the opposite: the United States is the one imposing a naval blockade against Iran (e.g., 'US blockade of Iranian ports', 'US naval blockade against Iran'). The U.S. is the blockader, not the blockaded.
