It's a chokepoint for the world's oil supply, and the world's busiest shipping lane. $1 bil worth of oil passes through there every day, shutting it down would drive oil prices up. According to the article 10% of the US' imported oil passes through there each month.

Could Iran close the strait?

The presence of the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet has long cast doubt on Iran’s ability to close the waterway, analysts said. In addition, the U.S. in May announced it was sending an aircraft carrier group, bombers and a Patriot antimissile battery to counter what the Trump administration said were “clear indications” that Iran and its proxies were preparing to possibly attack U.S. forces in the region.

That might be a problem.


My suggestion for Iran's Heads of military, Terrorist Operations, or high ranking Government officials...learn to dig, cause them skies ours.

When I read military articles on war simulations .... they always have Iran and China using mines and making everything a clusterfuck and stalemate.

Wouldnt closing the Strait and sending oil prices high help US and Russia? Iran has to do the shadow selling of oil so they would only marginally benefit.
