Today we're looking into a new US plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, teamwork. Great idea but not sure how well this will land after we've talked down to our allies for the past year. Either way, something needs to be done as the situation in the Middle East is likely forever changed now that Iran knows how little effort it takes to exert leverage over the Strait. For now however, it looks like a long term blockade is the move.
