look, people act like iran blocking shipping lanes is some crazy escalation but honestly the us kept poking them first with those strikes-like remember when everyone said trade would just flow peacefully if we stayed out of it?
Look, Iran blocking trade routes is just posturing while the US actually backs up threats with action, so obviously one side has real leverage here and it's not the guys making empty gestures about chokepoints.
wait, if blocking trade routes is actually iran's only leverage in this situation, aren't we kind of forcing them into a corner where it becomes their best rational move? seems wild to act shocked when someone uses their main bargaining chip.
honestly iran's just protecting their own interests here, blocking routes is literally a valid response when someone's striking you first, can't hate the move.
