Looks like The White House is just winging it, and there’s no plan whatsoever:

A recent internal assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency that was circulating inside the Pentagon in recent weeks determined that Iran could potentially keep the passage shut for anywhere from one to six months, four sources familiar with the document told CNN. But White House and Pentagon officials insisted that the assessment — particularly the longer end timeframe, which some consider a worst-case scenario — was not being seriously considered.

    Hmmm, almost like they went in with no plan and/or Trump was told it was a bad idea and he threw a tantrum, so they did it anyway

    passage shut for anywhere from one to six months

    Is there something happening after six months that will reopen the waters to imperialists ?

      They think they can win in 6 months if they have to. And in a worst case scenario, if they literally go nuclear - who knows, maybe they can. I just hope they’re not actually that stupid.

      doubtful, but it’s plausible that western world is going to have an economic crash by then and the burger reich will have to abandon the war and crawl back home
