Or Washington can take a page out of Iran's playbook and bomb those tankers couldnt they? I mean, why not? Iran has declared open war on commercial vessels with all of their strikes so if he is as crazed as you claim to say he would or could blow them sky high.

Plus Iran, has a critical weak point, Kharg Island, and while Trump spared the oil assets, he has said that if Iran continues to operate like they are he will reconsider. Thats were 90% of their oil flows out of. It would decapitate their ability to send any oil. Iran would collapse into chaos if they lost this island or if Trump struck it. Its the nuclear killshot option if Trump wanted to ensure an end to Iran as it has been known. I don't think he wants to do it but I will say at this point if Iran keeps playing games and hitting commercial vessels well you are putting him in a place to end your regime.

Scholars and experts have said it would end Iran, but the cost would be enormous to the entire world. The entire economy, military, regime, they need this oil money. Ending it means the end of funds. China, Russia, no one could save them after that it would be game over. Its a nuclear option but its entirely possible with how this has been going.
