      They know 1 or 2 tankers hit through the US protection it all collapses. Oil goes up to 100+$ a barrel minimum. Global economy implodes as the world bids to get what fuel it can.

      US is then required to deploy troops to Iran. 10s of thousand US troops in Iran for years.

      Or the sane play is US tucks its tail between its legs and leaves to save the world economy. It trump so we know the answer.

      That chokepoint would be a complete deathtrap. Every Iran’s rocket and their mother is aiming there in hope the US navy shows up.

      It’s crazy that a solution has not been found since the 80s in regards to Iran blockading the strait of Hormuz, the issue is not even the warships getting hit cause they have a lot of protection, the problem is how are you going to escort thousands of tankers through, it will be so expensive it won’t be worth it

      Imagine just the cost alone. Every drone is a danger that MUST be intercepted. Each one with a thermite charge is a dead tanker if it gets through. Our missiles to stop drones are a million plus per. Drones are 50 bucks. Ships carry a finite supply of missiles. Drones can be launched in swarms of hundreds. So yeah $ 500,000,000 in munitions per tanker escorted safely past Iran seems possible. We need DOGE to audit the Pentagon

      On the one hand, the IRGC are liars when it suits them and I wouldn’t doubt that they would bluff about their abilities to defend the strait.

      On the other hand, you have to assume that they know that the entire conflict hinges on the strait and would have dedicated a lot of resources specifically to turning it into a death trap.

      Big question is how much of their strait defense asset pool remains.

      OMG this is terrifying! Hopefully they feed their citizens some time this month.

      Also I would never trust Trumps supposed “insurance”. We all know he never pays.

      Their only real chance is to keep the strait blocked until oil prices rise so high it makes it politically impossible for Trump to keep the war going.

      But by the same logic , it gives the US every incentive in the world to open it up as soon as possible.

      It all depends whether they actually have the resources to defy the US navy/ Airforce for an extended period.

      wonder if the guards will fuck with the US’s boats again after what happened last time

      I am beginning to think that ruining the world economy just so the US and Israel can bomb and kill school kids and destroy ancient beautiful buildings in ancient beautiful cities is not worth it.

      It didn’t take a nuclear state to take out the USS Cole. Asymmetry is to their advantage.

      Trump just sees this as money. He will insure the carriers, but what of the lives of the crew? If the crew won’t sail through, the straight is closed

      I have no sympathy for the US admin. If you know that the Strait is, analogically speaking, the jugular of your economy not to mention much of the world’s economy, why would you think it be a brilliant idea to start a war with the large nation next to that Strait?

      Iran has to be full of the most delusional people ever. The US has destroyed their entire navy and air force in a couple days
