Warl0k3Isn’t the US refusing to send it’s warships there? Like it’s not that they can’t, it’s that they’re using their lack of progress or enforcement there to force broad consent to the war in iran from the US’s allies by using the straight closure to force their hand economically.
Why do you assume there is a strategy? If there had been one we wouldn’t be at this point. It’s really sad to think that’s what it boils down to, but it is just:

They’re evil - but they’re not so evil they don’t have a plan. Even if it’s a bad plan, it’s still a plan, and while the main characters here are in fact idiots, there’s some very smart people manipulating them. I don’t know if their strategy will work, but they’re still going to try for it.
You way over estimate the actors.
Anyone with any sense would have kicked Trump tp the curb in 2015 before the convention. No one who has ever spent any time with him has ever said anything except that he’s an idiot.
The 0.01% now have to deal with the consequences of putting the stupidest person in the world in charge of the biggest military in the world.
