I do not think Herr Trump understands that he does not control this situation, Iran does. Iran does not have to win, they just have to not lose. Iran can close the passageway through that straight... Iran can destroy that resource, so Iran is the one who controls that resource.
Iran has the capability to simultaneously throw many uncrewed aerial and sea vehicles at ships within that narrow strait, and at US troops ashore. when there are so many "drones" that they can be used to hunt down individual soldiers as in Ukraine, then defenses will be overwhelmed and ships and troops will die.
Rich people do not care if "ordinary" people die on their whims. Herr Trump and his friends have no "skin in the game" and care not who fights and bleeds and dies because of their greed and hunger for power.
once upon a time long ago I was a "Regular Army" Sergeant, and I weep for these children they are about to send into harms's way... all because of the whim of a fool.
