Does Iran actually have the capability to close the Strait though? I thought every naval asset they have has been flattened.

Considering it has signficantly affected oil prices. Yes.

A large amount of ships are currently stuck in the persian gulf. A significant portion of this is because they do not want to take the risk. The threat is enough to be effective but Iran is also enforcing it.
