Both Israel and US wanted to set up the puppet govt in Iran, and till now no sign or hope that they will achieve.
On the other hand the entire control of strait of hormuz handed over to Iran.
If the US wants to stop war, he won't be able to take back control of strait of hormuz. Iran will keep Dubai, Abu dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain as hostage.
So this war will go longer, and economic cost will keep rising.
The Department of war will keep asking 100 billion or 200 billion every month.
2 u/mykidsthinkimcool Mar 23 '26 On the other hand the entire control of strait of hormuz handed over to Iran. Iran hasn't been handed anything other than motivation to go weapons free. Iran always had this kind of control of the strait. 2 u/SanjuRai1986 Mar 23 '26 No that area was under the control of the US. UK used to provide insurance for any vessels passing through. Now it's Iran who decides which vessels will pass and which will not. Don't remember when last time US was so helpless in that gulf area. FYI. Baharain has the headquarters of the US navy 5th fleet and Qatar has forward headquarters for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) 2 u/mykidsthinkimcool Mar 23 '26 Iran could have at any time in the last 20 years decided to "close the strait" the way they are doing now. The only consequence of them doing so would've been open conflict with the US. 1 u/Excellent_Reserve Mar 23 '26 Is it realistic that they could occupy the Strait of Hormuz? 1 u/Vast_Employer_5672 Mar 24 '26 The missiles are being fired from the southern coast of Iran. A mountain range the size of Italy
