Once I started reading Iran news with the perspective that Trump WANTS the straight closed to pressure China prior to trade talks in May, things started making way more sense. He'll be able to brag about the trade surplus with oil exports increasing too. Obvs tons of nuance, but that's my 2 sentence read rn.
