Standoff!? There’s no standoff. If Iran attempts to stop US shipping, they go straight to Davy Jone’s locker.

Kind of like how the US just kicked ass when the drone went down.
We lost our military sometime shortly after WWII. Since then the US military policy is simply show up with gear and allow the enemy to kill our troops, then pay the locals trillions to rebuild. Rarely we get lucky and take out a leader, but mostly we deliver million dollar pizzas to tribes of ungrateful reprobates.
Our military is utterly corrupt by political high ranking brass, and our troops have increasingly become drugged up criminal perverts who make sex toys out of livestock.
Meanwhile back in the States, we lie about our troops saying that they are "fighting for our freedom" when in fact the trillions spent wearing out our gear and cranking our thousands of dead and wounded is enslaving us to our creditors while we teach our domestic troops how to conduct effective urban warfare on American citizens and amp up the surveillance and control on the general public.
Those animals on that side of the planet routinely take US flagged ships with only one group ever intercepted, and our CiC is still apologizing and embarrassed over that interdiction. Meanwhile, the Israelis, Russians, Chinese and even the pacific Indians each gave the US a clinic on how to do it - to no avail since one might as well fly the white flag of surrender rather than the US colors.
Over a decade in Afghanistan, and our own soldiers are rebuked and disciplined by our own leaders for passing gas in the presence of a native tribesman, or the mortal sin of urinating in the direction of Mecca.
Our military is castrated and only serves as an incubator of technique and social engineering to further tyrannize US citizens.
