"The last time Iran tried to block the Straits it cost them almost their entire Navy inside of a week."

I think it will be much quicker this time considering the assets we have lurking around the area. I'm sure everything worth worrying about already has at least one set of crosshairs on it.

Within 24 hours all the Iranians will have left to launch are rubber rafts- something for the boys to shoot full of holes and have fun with.

The only thing that sort of concerns me is that the Iranians have been hiding Silkworm sites by the dozens along the coast.

I seriously doubt that any one site will get more than one or two shots off, but that will be enough to do some damage. However, once those sites do fire something, I think their survival time will be measured in seconds. That reality will most likely cool the ardor to shoot at American flagged tankers.

Count on it.
