Your theory seems in conflict with the fact that ~2/3 of the worlds oil is in the Persian Gulf area, Peak Oil and the lack of alternatives to oil and LNG.

I dont think the world will be learning how to do with out safe transit of oil through these straights. The American public would have Tehran radioactive if necessary to remove the threat rather than live life without cheap oil.

Wonder how many tankers passing through the Straits of Hormuz carry American or Israel flags. It was my understanding that most tankers are registered with Panama, Greece. Liberia, Bahamas, Singapore, Norway, Malta, or Cyprus. Closing that passage would not be simple.

The place a super tanker can pass through is very limited in width.
