What net interest is that? To what extent can Iran exact this grind, the point where the cons of the closure will outweigh those of a more direct engagement for the US?
The deterrence had been achieved until Iran shot at those non-military boats. You can't blame this one on the US. I don't believe Iran can gain enough deterrence any time soon to enjoy impunity when attacking commercial ships in Omani waters.
They were historic events. One party happened to be Muslim, making it a perfectly reasonable counter-argument to the childishly concocted, actual religious claim made by that member that "
a true Muslim never retreats". A claim that Iran would do well to ignore. That post is still up there.
