For all the talk of high-tech warfare, AI-targeting & drones as transformative of battle(s) it will not have escaped your notice that Iran has caused the maximum amount of global disruption (surely one of they clear defensive aims) by the simple expedient of mining the Strait of Hormuz (mines, of course, being a naval war technology of some history).

Whatever you think of Iran, they've managed this part of their defence pretty well & outfoxed the Tangerine Tyrant!

@ChrisMayLA6 I remember someone (maybe Bruce Schneier) pointing out that the USA has a much larger attack surface than smaller less developed countries such as North Korea and so has more to lose from conflict.

Bruce's son was in town for a while. He seemed quite taken aback when I asked him if Bruce was his Dad. Perhaps he was expecting a smaller attack surface in a smaller and remote country.
