So, we have finally came to a point where the things are again spicing up. Many people are currently making fun of US for blockading a strait that is already blocked, it is funny yes, but it is also effective.

So we all know, there is currently a ceasefire between them, and US during this time has blockaded strait of hormuz, not allowing Iranian vessels to pass to Iranian ports, which forced Iran to reverse its decision to open strait of Hormuz.

Why is it clever? If Iran retaliates before or after the end of ceasefire in April 22nd, then US will shout to the world “Look, they attacked first” and then would have a viable reason to attack. If Iran does not attack, then it will be as if getting choked in your own home by an external power, eventually getting overpowered in your own area.

What I am saying, is that in any of the cases, if US has decided for a ground invasion, then yes, it it s inevitable, however things will be completely different if US lifts the blockade, which does not seem to happening.

The best thing Iran can do, they can lift the blockade from their side and give an ultimatum to US to do the reciprocal by any due date, failing to which it would re-block the strait. This way, atleast Iran will have the moral higher ground and will not be termed as the “escalator” in this conflict. Though conflict will still be inevitable. Thats my view. What do you think? Let me know.
