It’s the Trump chokepoint. He handed the Iranian regime a weapon with FAR greater utility than a nuke. He legitimized the weaponization of the Strait of Hormuz & turning it into a toll booth to demand reparations payments. A nuke is useless in comparison because the moment you use it, you’re toast.
