"Problem is this doesn’t solve Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz."

It prevents Iran from allowing select customers (China) to continue to receive oil. It cuts off Iran from their revenue stream, and it incentivizes our "allies" to do their part for the oil they need. Since the US is not dependent of oil from this region, we can do this all week, and Sunday, too.

Re: "The USA is not dependent on oil from the Persian Gulf..."

Correct.

However, the PRICE of oil in the USA is absolutely dependent on the global price of oil.

Supply goes down, the price goes up - everywhere!
