The U.S. could not effectively run a blockade in response to the Soviet Union's deployment of nuclear missiles to Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis because it risked escalating tensions into a nuclear confrontation. A blockade, which the U.S. termed a "quarantine," was a provocative act that could be interpreted as an act of war. Additionally, the presence of Soviet nuclear missiles so close to U.S. shores created a precarious situation where any miscalculation could lead to catastrophic consequences. Thus, the U.S. had to carefully navigate its response to avoid triggering a direct military conflict.
