I'm not sure I understand your argument - you seem to have proven my point.

They always could close the Strait and they eventually did. In this case the US is already energy independent and could absorb the shock.

Are you jewish coincidentally? Because in order to not get it you‘d have to engage in very motivated reasoning.

Accusing Iran of destabilizing the region when the whole reason this war (and therefore the closure of the strait) has happened is because of Israel is certainly some chutzpah.

		I'm not Jewish or even a fan of Israel, but I think "you‘d have to engage in very motivated reasoning" to not get that this war started a long time ago. The recent hostilities are just one small part of it. Everyone shares some of the blame. And Iran has sponsored many attacks on Israel.
