Submission statement: A WSJ analysis of the options for securing the strait by US forces. This is a gift link (I am paying subscriber to the WSJ).
„Experts estimate it could take two ships per tanker, or a dozen ships to guard convoys of five to 10 tankers, to have the necessary air defenses. The short distances involved make shooting down missiles and drones much more difficult.“
The easiest solution is to just declare „Mission Accomplished“ and stop the strikes, which is what he did last year. Iran would have to reopen the Strait because of Russian and Chinese pressure and because their own economy needs the oil trade to continue.
Trump’s ego and Netanyahu’s poll numbers won’t allow them to do that so they are instead arrogantly declaring that it’s the responsibility of the rest of the world to contribute the warships needed to secure the Strait, so that they won’t have to worry about American and Israeli sailors being killed by drones or mines and sent home in body bags in an election year.
You would have to control every foot of the Iranian coastline to stop sea drones. Good.luck.with that
