The problem would be the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz by the hostilities. I think about half the world’s oil (including Saudi oil) goes through there.

Yeah I do believe the DOD and Administration has thought about this potential problem.

However, Iran has to think about the problem of three aircraft carries and dozens of destroyers, subs and of course 200 hundred aircraft, cruise missles etc parked just off their coast right now.
