If that is the case, Iran should destroy Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, and uae oil and gas. trump wants pain for the Iranians to force capitulation so the straits reopen so there is no economic collapse blamed on the trump war. If that is the case, then no reason other than provide a closing of most middle east oil and gas at the source, so there is no reason to cause pain to Iranian people. trump would destroy Iranian oil and gas and it would be a worse global energy crisis. Iran could up fees to 10 million a ship to pass the straits and recoup damages.
