“Well, the Strait never would have been closed if it wasn’t for the decision by the U.S. and Israel to launch the attacks in the first place.”

Countries shut off access to their territories in times of open warfare, don't they?

It's not Iran's problem -- or yours (or mine), either -- that there are a bunch of tiny countries in the Persian Gulf that are only accessible by sea through a disputed channel. Maybe they aren't even viable countries after all.
