Maybe....maybe, but a credible threat may give Trump pause. I don't even think they have the balls to do that. We're talking a seismic economic event that could have a multi year effect on the energy market.No, I'm talking about the 12-day war. After Israel attacked Iran, oil prices went up for about $2 and went down again after 48 hours.
I honestly think that the idea of closing the Strait of Hormuz or hitting the energy infrastructure of neighboring countries is nonsense. The Islamic Republic is corrupt to the core and all their family members live abroad. They would never do that because there's just too much collateral (i.e. their families). Also, they would never upset China like that. These plans are like those foolish dreams of destroying Haifa and Tel Aviv.
Option B is to negotiate and give up everything...for sanction relief,
Option C is to die a slow death, culminating in another violent outbreak with many, many Iranian civilians dying.....and a chaos that would give Israel the perfect opportunity to destroy all of our defenses. Also, using that opportunity to arm the Kurds, Baluch, Azeri, and Arab minority to roll up Iran into a failed state.
