Jerusalem Post: Operation in Strait of Hormuz Would Prolong War

According to the Jerusalem Post, a U.S. military operation to control the Strait of Hormuz could prolong a war by "weeks, if not months." Sources report that if Donald Trump decided to take control of the Strait, aiming for free navigation, it would result in the conflict's extension.

Following threats from Iran, many ships are avoiding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for the global energy market, through which approximately 20% of the world's oil supply passes. Satellite images show many ships waiting outside the strait.
