Oh don't be retarded. Closing of the strait had to be recognized as a real possibility, even if it was Iran's last stand. There should've been a contingency plan in store for it.
Don't think they wargame this scenario for the past 30 years? It isn't the first time Iran tried closing the straits down, they did it back in the 80s.
Shit isn't like hearts of iron 4, it takes a lot of f
time to move pieces around, even if every small drone launcher and mobile missile launcher disguised as a civilian truck in the Iranian coastline is found and destroyed, you will still need to have ships escorting the tankers to prove to them and their insurers that the coast is clear.
Also if Iran thought their closure was airtight, they wouldn't be now desperately trying to destroy the Arabs oil terminals and refineries directly, they know ships will pass through but they don't want them to have the chance to load up on oil anyway.
I'm fucking tired of this dooming shit, it took 1 month to overrun Iraq despite it Iraqi tanks surrendering to humvees on sight, took months for the allies to leave anzio in 44, the krauts did their largest and most devastating western offensive for US casualties that barely failed 5 months before surrender in the battle of the bulge.
See Russia, see if it's panicking if their war is 4 year long now with at least half a million dead and injured on their side?
You fuckers are doomposting when less than 20 Americans died, half of which were by accidents or friendly fire and gas got a little bit more expensive.
Unless the Iranians send a carrier and 6 thousand americana in it to poseidon you should stop posting doomers shit, and if they do that, I will be posting my bare ass on this thread.
