Iran Has the Ability to Close the Strait of Hormuz...But Will They?
Let's take a dive into history
I write this, given the rapid escalation of events in June 2025. The US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan represent the most direct American military action against Iran since the 1988 Operation Praying Mantis. Iran’s response through parliamentary threats to close the Strait, combined with continued Israeli strikes on Iranian military assets, creates a volatile situation where miscalculation could have global consequences.
