It's a 40+ year old situation, nothing is clear, except the deep state ousted Nixon who would have avoided much of the mess from genesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thMVMkVtUf8
Iran wasn't launching missiles at anyone
The strait has been a constant issue with missiles out of Yemen, also rockets out of Lebanon, both Iran proxies
Iran can't actually hit the US
CONUS.
US bases in the region are US soil, US cargo ships, etc. Infrastructure of partners are mainly a EU problem given its largely imports their that get effected, but just last year or so they literally asked for help from the US since they lack capabilities to keep the strait open. Defense compacts with the Saudi's go back 80 years.
Smuggled-in dirty bombs or container launched missiles/drones could hit the CONUS, which is why this dove-tailed with VZ/Cuba operations.
I wonder how much time they had to put into crafting these statements:
Probably 10 years give or take, when they made a deal to not move on Taiwan until the US gets TSMC fabs running domestically so we can just let them have it and save both side a ton of blood and treasure.
