    Iran can keep the strait closed even if the US goes all out, all flattening Iran would do is ensure the strait stays closed long enough for the oil reserves to run out. The US has to know this. The question is if they’re stupid enough to do it anyway.

          Not just that though. Cultist war Hawks got a hard on for leveling Iran for some reason. Lindsay Gramme been saying it for like 20 years. Unless he is also Israeli puppet in which case ignore me.
