    That would be super fucking stupid. No better way to make sure Iran mines the strait. Right now they still need it to export oil. You know the orange one’s advisors explained this to him because they didn’t target the oil infrastructure on the first bombardment, but he’s like Chekov’s dumbass: Any bad idea put in his head in the first act must be acted upon by the third.

      It would prevent Iran from mining the straight for weeks, maybe months, because the gulf would be on fire for a while.
