I believe and obviously hope that Trump has finally blown it big time with this most ill-judged of ill-judged wars. He’s dug himself into a deep hole and is losing support within both his ‘allies’ and the American public: the forthcoming mid-term elections are likely to be a disaster, particularly if the mooted ‘boots on the ground’ in Iran is implemented, as I can’t see the American public having much truck with that.

As for naval confrontations in ‘bottleneck’ straits, Trump, his acolytes and his advisors would do well to read-up on the appalling Dardanelles Campaign in WW1

And for protective convoys in general this:
