“They would bring swift and certain destruction on their own heads,” he said. “We would take whatever action is necessary to keep the strait open.”

However, the potential for escalation and unintended consequences in such a scenario remains high. Any disruption to the flow of oil through the strait would have immediate and far-reaching consequences for the global economy, driving up oil prices and potentially sparking a wider conflict in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz has long been a flashpoint for tensions between Iran and the US, and any military action in the region has the potential to spiral out of control. The US and its allies must carefully consider the risks and consequences of any further escalation, and work towards a diplomatic solution to the current crisis.

As the world watches and waits to see how the situation in the Strait of Hormuz unfolds, one thing is clear: the stakes are incredibly high, and the potential for disaster is very real.

Iran’s strategic decision to have their entire economy run through the Strait of Hormuz has come under scrutiny in recent times, especially in light of escalating tensions with the United States. The recent US strikes on Iran have raised concerns about the vulnerability of Iran’s economy, which heavily relies on the strait for the transportation of oil.

Regime insiders have indicated that Iran’s response to the US strikes would involve intensifying attacks on Israel, rather than engaging in a full-blown war with the US. While the closure of the strait by Iran could have significant repercussions on global oil markets and shipping routes, the decision to do so may not be in Iran’s best interest in the long run.

Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, pointed out that Iran would have to consider the consequences of provoking the full might of the US in response to their actions in the strait. The closure of the strait could lead to a spike in oil prices, disruptions in shipping routes, and increased insurance rates for vessels passing through the region.

Despite the potential economic impact of closing the strait, some experts believe that Iran could still achieve its strategic objectives by driving up oil prices, even if they are unable to permanently shut down the strait. Kaushal, an analyst, suggested that Iran may be able to succeed strategically by creating turmoil in global oil markets, even without permanently closing the strait.

However, Burcu Ozcelik, of the Royal United Services Institute think-tank in London, cautioned that closing the strait could have far-reaching consequences for Iran’s own economy and global economic stability. The decision to close the strait could trigger global economic shockwaves and may not align with Iran’s long-term interests.

As tensions continue to escalate in the region, the world watches closely to see how Iran’s next move will shape the future of the conflict. Whether the situation will escalate into a full-scale war or end in temporary restraint remains uncertain. The closure of the strait could have profound implications for global oil markets and shipping routes, underscoring the critical importance of the region in the global economy.
