An Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would last a few hours. Are the Iranians stupid enough to want to act as test subjects for the capabilities of the new USS Ronald Reagan?

Most of the action would be over in a few hours. However, the tankers will not travel the Strait until all threat is eliminated, and that would require surrender by Iran. It won't be a matter of a few hours: oil shipments could be interrupted for a month.
