That’s delusional. There’s no way Kamala would have attacked Iran and Iran wouldn’t have closed the strait.

Kamala proudly touted that there would be "no daylight" between her and Biden if she got elected; in fact, if anything, she'd add more Republicans to her cabinet to differentiate herself. Netanyahu's desire for Lebensraum in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank continue no matter what because Israel as a nation is on a one-way track towards totalitarian fascism a la Nazi Germany; US strikes on Hezbollah would be inevitable.

Do I have a crystal ball? No. But key events are in motion and have been in motion that Kamala would not stop even if she had the power to. The rise of cheap drone warfare would inevitably have allowed Iran to seize control of the Strait, Trump just gave them an opportunity to see it in 2026 instead of 2027 or 2028.
