It does not fit 3 for your Retreat, so that would be a successful block. It would fit 3 if your opponent played an ITB/Bounce card (like Royal Parade), if Jehoram was still the last card you played in the current battle, which would probably result in a successful rescue.
● An interrupt effect temporarily undoes and suspends active or completed abilities, or completing effects of abilities, while activating other abilities or effects before the suspended abilities reactivate.● Interrupting an ability does not undo the activation of that ability or its effects, or the targeting of the effects of that ability. It only undoes effects of the ability that occurred in the current phase, and pauses any checking of conditions for the ability. Interrupted abilities are pending reactivation.

I believe most (if not all) players when reading "interrupt the battle" for the first time would naturally think that it means "apply the 'interrupt' effect to the abilities on all cards in battle." They would not assume that such an effect only interrupts abilities that meet at least one of the three criteria above nor would they feel the need to look in the REG for clarification because the wording of the effect seems to so strongly suggest only one way of interpretation.Quote from: REG>Interrupt● An interrupt effect temporarily undoes and suspends active or completed abilities, or completing effects of abilities, while activating other abilities or effects before the suspended abilities reactivate.● Interrupting an ability does not undo the activation of that ability or its effects, or the targeting of the effects of that ability.
