A leverage that is worth $100 billion? And cannot even be used in peace?Power is not a bank account. The Strait is leverage, not revenue. A few hundred billion in "damage" is just the price of making the enemy bleed a few trillion in volatility and lost control. This isn't that complicated.
Iran didn't take the Strait of Hormuz in this war. We always had it. We just didn't shut it down because there wasn't an ongoing war.
Your conspiracy theory doesn't make mathematical/economic sense.
