Iran is completely blockaded right now:

The drones are useless if you dont have targeting systems which were taken offline by F35s 2 months ago.

Blocking Iran is going to do more damage to the world than it will do to Iran.

What targeting systems are you talking about? You can use optical targeting with a raspberry PI in the drone itself, pre programmed. Nothing for an F-35 to take out.

The EU is running out of jet fuel. 20-30% of the hydrogen needed for chip fab comes through the straight. Fertilizer for food comes through the straight, and planting season has already begun.

This was a political and economic disaster.
