Analysis: Five Reasons Why Trump’s Blockade in the Strait of Hormuz Won’t work:
1. It isn’t stopping Iran from selling oil;
2. It won't make Tehran fold any time soon;
3, By summer, Trump won't be able to ignore the squeeze on Americans;

5. It is an act of war that puts Trump back to square one.

Analysis: "Israel’s near-total dependence on seawater desalination... has created a security vulnerability unlike that of the Persian Gulf states."
"While Gulf desalination facilities are spread across wide geographic areas, Israel’s production capacity is concentrated along a narrow stretch of coastline."
It is "vulnerable to... concentrated missile barrages or suicide drone attacks from multiple fronts."
