Option A) would have been an on-shore operation.
Option B) Isn't boarding tankers. We are not pirates.
And it doesn't appear to be a bluff as of right now.
You were crying out just two days ago that we relinquished control of the straight and how it would become a profit center for Iran. As...
Yes, its been discussed as a viable strategy in lieu of a ground invasion for a bit now. Its not like we are blocking all boats; we are just blocking the ones that Iran wasn't (the ones carrying their product). This virtually gives us the same leverage as taking their Oil Islands without...
I've seen a couple of Pundits (one CNN and one Fox) suggest an all or nothing strategy on the straights. If Iran is blocking our ships, we just block theirs. This virtually has the same effect of taking some oil island and puts greater pressure on IRAN than any other single party. Again...

I just question how the closing of the straight that supplies mostly Asia hurts the US more than China? Yes it hurts us some, but its not proportionate. Possibly China has a substantially higher tolerance for an energy crisis? That I can believe.
