Maybe a blockade but even that seems risky with missiles in play Guess you could do air superiority (with Iraq's consent? Afghanistan's? Saudis? unsure of range/bases needed) to blow up missile sites before moving ships en masse then hope for a revolution good luck with that

my spiciest take is that this is weak evidence that trump is more of a patriot than his critics think: he's willing to risk *hurting* his reelection chances to curtail iranian aggression i think iran was betting he wouldn't do anything because it would hurt him politically

total inversion of how most people see this -- as trump somehow drumming up war to win reelection. that seems to me to be the exact opposite of the truth, and he prob knows it. but could be wrong
