Not quite, but almost the worst case scenario long term for the US.
I think everyone in the world would gladly pay the toll to use the strait and start to mitigate the damage being done to the world’s economy. Oil was $58 a barrel before Israel and the Republicans attacked Iran and destroyed the world’s economy. Tell me who would not happily pay $58 + $2 toll per barrel of oil vs the disaster we have now?

We truly live in an idiocracy. How exactly do you bomb water and tankers full of oil without risking oil spills and international chaos and economic collapse? Why is this country full of stupid people?

He is playing the long game. Trump will not last the full four years. He will either die in office or, unlike Biden, Trump will step down or get pushed out in the third year.

I wonder how this makes the other GCC/Arab League members feel.
Also, how do the Arabs feel about IDF soldiers on UAE soil?
Wonder if this will have legs.
Israel sent Iron Dome system, dozens of IDF soldiers to UAE during Iran war
https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-894195
Israel sent an Iron Dome system and dozens of IDF troops to the United Arab Emirates during Operation Roaring Lion, its recent war with Iran, according to foreign sources.
Multiple Israeli officials have stated that the decision to send the Iron Dome battery and interceptors was made after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ).
UAE slams Gulf allies as 'weak' on Iran
https://www.dawn.com/live/iran-israel-war#1995527
A senior official from the United Arab Emirates has criticised the country’s Gulf allies over their response to Iranian retaliatory attacks in the region, following the Israeli-US strikes that launched the Middle East war, AFP reports.
[Presidential advisor Anwar Gargash said] he “expected such a weak stance from the Arab League”, the 22-member organisation of Middle East and North African nations based in Cairo.
“But I don’t expect it from the GCC, and I am surprised by it,” he tells a conference in Dubai.
Iron Dome works on small rockets with easily calculated trajectories. It does not work on large missiles, ballistic missiles and drones.
It’s criminal that Netanyahu knew that but still wanted his country at risk. What a traitor.
He also knew about 10/7 happening and the Israelis knew from Egypt that it would happen on that Saturday/that day because of the 1973 history. He knew and didn’t stop it. He told the army to stand down and not watch as people were taken.
When will his country stand up and take down the traitor? What they did to the Jesus statue should be done to him.
Hamas and Netanyahu both use their people as human shields and for their own political survival.
There were simultaneous protests in the Gaza Strip and Israel against Netanyahu and Hamas just weeks before 10/7. The anti government protests on both sides stopped after the war. I don’t find it to be a coincidence Hamas and Netanyahu are always locked together and rose in the mid 90s together by using fear and terrorism against their own people
Most Israelis support atrocities against the Palestinians. They are indoctrinated.

State Department Openly Admits Israel Pushed Us Into Iran War
It’s becoming increasingly clear who is in control here.
Surprised the state department would openly admit to this.
