America isn't getting exports from Iran, until recently they were sanctioned. More of a problem is that the biggest buyer of Iranian oil is China. I don't think that getting out of the war with Iran by starting a war with China would be an improvement.

Single market. Every barrel China buys from Iran is a barrel it doesn’t scour the global markets for.

China isn’t getting into a war with America over the Strait.

		> Single market. Not really, they were getting discounted oil prices previously that they are no longer able to get. Also, they are a large importer of oil compared to the US, which is an exporter. They have much more to lose from high oil prices than we do.
