Personally, my hope would be that the USA would not act unilaterally.

I would hope that a “coalition” of Oil Importing Nations, Such as Japan, various European nations, the USA and maybe even China would be asked to impose an international force that would patrol and keep the Straits open and would establish a “demilitarized zone” around the Straits that was closed to all but Coalition of Oil Importing Nations military.

My hope for this is that if Iran decided to challenge the coalition, that we and others would have a clear reason (their violation of the demilitarized zone) to bomb and destroy all Iranian military targets on a near continuous basis and go after their command and control facilities and their leadership so as to encourage regime change in Iran.

It is time the the Iran leadership got the sword they so dearly like to rattle shoved up their *@s.

Spain, France, Italy and India can all put aircraft carriers on station; let them do so.
