    Unless that encourages the US to deploy everything to avoid that. We can’t even begin to predict what the idiot in charge will do.

    If he goes that route the government of Iran would probably fall after a lot of death and then a long bloody, and ultimately unsuccessful, occupation would follow.

    Hopefully he’s not dumb enough to try, and everyday the US doesn’t fully invade does tilt the scales in Iran’s favor

      I don’t think the US can even prevent it.

      The government of Iran won’t fall before they mine the Strait, and then it’ll be closed without any further input.

        That is a very good point and seems likely if anyone tries to mount a full scale invasion.
