For years the Iranian regime threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz if it was attacked.... so the (unintended) consequence of the US/Israeli attacks on Iran, was firstly to force the Iranians to make good on that threat, but once having done so, to realise quite how effective a geopolitical 'weapon' it is....
So the Tangerine Tyrant has willed closure of the Strait into existence & it seems unlikely the Iranians will be as reticent to use closure as they may have been in the past.
