I don't disagree. I meant they had a long term military plan, not an economic one.no it hasn't, had it made a long term strategic plan it would have found a way to diversify its oil and gas distribution network. As it stands if anything happens to Karg Islands, Iran can only lash out at neighboring countries and Israel for a few days until they run out of missiles and then it's game over. No one with a long term strategic vision will ever prioritize ruinous funding of proxies and missiles over securing their only means of earning cash.
I would first build underground pipe lines to transport my oil and gas through Pakistan or other neighboring countries securely and then build those missile cities. The only calculus in a US decision to cut off Tehrans only means of exporting its oil is that it makes it impossible for anyone to exploit Iran's oil for a few years including the US. A problem that we already face in Venezuela.
Their economic decisions are reactionary, based on how the drone +blockade war strategy is panning out.
