I guess maybe four hours would be needed to sink their entire navy. Maybe five.

The straits can be closed by land based artillery and missile batteries. The status of Iran’s navy is of little importance then.
They don’t even have to do anything. Just move units into position and announce on maritime channels that the straits are closed. No tanker captain is going to even try it.

That’s not the point. The sunken ships could render the narrow waterway un-navigable. Darn if you do and damned if you don’t
