You say that your resource is US Military and intelligence...They lift the skirts for you to peek? Sorry, I don't believe that.
"The world got along fine without Iraqi oil during Gulf Wars 1 and 2."
The Straits carry a lot more than Iraqi oil, but I'm sure that your Military Intelligence sources told you that.
"Iran's oil threat is not a reason to surrender"
Who said anything about surrender?
You have given nothing but supposition based on what you you imagine is truth. And you still haven't answered the original question....where are the troops needed to fight and then occupy Syria and Iran while occupying Iraq going to come from? But, please don't bother.
Israel is an issue because the hatred of the Muslims for Israel is a major motivation behind the terrorism. Israel is not an issue in the sense that their being drawn into a war is a major concern. It's at best a minor concern easily dealt with.

Doesn't matter. If you are going to let such threats dictate your foreign policy, you might as well run up the white flag now. If the lack of that oil is a serious threat, it simply means we either have to take preventive measures or make it clear to the Iranians that the cost of shutting it down will be greater they they want to bear.

You might as well have. You have effectively said, "We can't attack the people who are leading and funding those attacking us, because if we do they might shut down the straits".
