The US government were surprised that they closed the strait btw. Let’s not rewrite history to make this all sound planned and foreseen when it clearly was not.

Also currently Iran is looking stronger not weaker tbh. The Americans have really fucked it all up.

I have heard numerous people make this assertion when every single wargaming exercise has always predicted the closing of the straight. I don't understand where this is coming from.

When you say Iran is looking stronger I think you mean in some kind of relative expectation game in the media sense rather than a real hard power sense.. I would encourage you to look at the latter instead

		For how long can the US maintain its current posture? What is it, more Patriots spent in 4 days than in 4 years in Ukraine? Russia is shipping drones to Iran now.
