Because Trump allowed Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz, I believe the PRC has come to believe the US Navy is not able to defend its ships or Taiwan.

It appears to me that Trump is hindered in his efforts because he does not want to cripple the Iranian people for the entire next generation. On the other hand, the Ianian leaders, knowing this, are quite ready to exploit this type of Western value.

"Because Trump allowed Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz, I believe the PRC has come to believe the US Navy is not able to defend its ships or Taiwan." War and conflict are always teaching moments. The Iran adventure perhaps highlighted the US Navy's number one issue: number. Numbers are need to attack, defend, and to contain .

I’m really curious as to why the Navy can’t keep the Strait open with or without Iran.
