Don't think this is true at all.

Anyway, all the talk about boots on the ground is idiotic babble. There's persistent satellite surveillance. Precision guided missiles and drones. Any movement of troops will get destroyed at the port of debarkation.

So if it's no Iran Navy that means they can't choke off the straight of hormuz right
To add to all the replies you already got, Iran is an aeroballistic power. Its navy and air force are bottom tier and same as their air defense, it's very likely close to non existent at the moment or hidden to not be exposed and definitely lost.

It's obviously an issue but not critical for them as they are not built like a Western military where air superiority is paramount. They are specialized in drones/rockets/missiles and their strategy is to launch the cheapest and quickest made stuff (shaheds) against expensive and slow to reload/replace systems. Once those are depleted or down, they may fire more of their more expense ballistic missiles.

Analysts say that before this war it had up to 3000+
ballistic missiles and likely way more drones and it supposedly produced 50 missiles and at most 500 drones a month. This is their advantage in any conflict.

So that's why they can launch cheap shaheds (worth 5 figures it's said) in the strait of Hormuz (and the Suez canal) almost at will and that's enough to shut it down. They don't even have to hit any target but the threat is enough for insurance prices to skyrocket and force shipping lanes to reroute through Cape of Good Hope.

They have a lot of stock but their weak point is that they need to use mobile launchers to fire them and those launchers are not as numerous (rumoured to be in the low hundreds). So the strategy for Israel/US is to target those rather than the stockpiles but in a country that vast, it's a cat and mouse challenge.

Tankie babble. Can't help yourself use this war as an excuse to push pro-Russia shyt
Goofy babble.
I'm sure the good people of Ukraine who dealt with mass death and destabilization of their
state don't agree with the "help" they received from us.

Side note:
Being critical of America doesn't mean I "support Russia", nor am I a "tankie".
Russia in 2026 is not the USSR and our acts of aggression (using Ukraine as a way to conduct
a proxy war with Russia) are literally what got us here (same playbook but now being used in Iran).
If you can't see it, it's because you're up to your eyeballs in propaganda and can't critically look
at your own country. (which is not my fault).

What's holding the other nations back is the possibility of being plunged into a recession or
depression due to the downstream effects of Hormuz and reduced energy production..

Whatever I think doesn't matter.

You need to read additional sources and watch what's happening in places like the stock market.

Ignoring reality is literally one of the worst things we've ever been taught in America.
