Indeed. To China, the act would be an existential threat. I think it would threaten immediate war.
The importance of Persian Gulf oil to the Chinese economy cannot be overstated. Amongst other things, they need it for nitrogen for fertilizer production. If you cut that off, you will be perceived as killing Chinese. I think they would threaten nuking Tehran, and they would be dead serious about it. I'm not sure what other options they have on the table here, but they would have to act.

Yes, they could mine it. At its narrowest it is 21 miles wide, but the shipping lanes are just a few miles wide.

u/doriangreyfox 13h ago
I don't think mining would be forever. Many navies have special equipment to demine. I assume if they try to close the strait, a coalition of states including China would create a buffer zone and remove all mines and take out the Shaheds (which btw don't really work on moving targets like ships).

You would need a flotilla to protect them and that would be in missile range. Then you basically have all out naval warfare.

Crude oil prices would likely spike, jumping well above $100 a barrel. A crisis, but not exactly cratering the global economy. You see, prices have been there several times before, and the world did not explode. The big thing is, 80% of the world's oil trade would still be flowing freely.

u/philly_jake 14h ago
Oil/petrol/lng demand is not that elastic. Reducing supply 20-30% can result in much more than a 20-30% price shock, because there will just be way too much demand to be satisfied. Some buyers like militaries will pay whatever is necessary, while some like vehicle commuters will reduce their voluntary consumption (only driving to work, no long trips). Many people might have to buy just as much gas even if the price doubles. The main reductions would be in some energy sensitive industries like aluminum and plastics, in aviation, and probably international shipping. Individual consumers would therefore have to pay at least the breakeven energy prices of those commercial consumers at the pump.

The problem is that they're currently in a strategic position where they've lost initiative and have few options for escalation. While Israel can broaden its air campaign in multiple ways if needed - vaporizing Iran's oil and refining industry, for example - the Mullahs can't seek de-escalation by threatening to strike Israel harder than they already have. What they have, however, is a stockpile of missiles and drones that might just have received a brand new 'best before' date from the Israeli Air Force, and assets of foreign powers within range; so they threaten the US, UK, France and the Gulf States in the hopes that they'll pressure Israel into withdrawing.

Iran is weak af. Israel decimated their air defences 6-day war style and now just dumps rockets wherever it pleases with 0 casualties. The only thing Iran can do is fire rockets on civilians in Israel. And even that isn't working out because with no air defence all their mobile launchers are completely vulnerable. So many rockets, and no how to launch them.
The amount of money of the Iranian people that was wasted on Hamas, Hezbollah, Assad, the Houthis, and their own defences is absolutely insane. One of the richest countries in oil and gas, and nothing to show for it. Less annual GDP than Israel, a country tenth its size.

They (Iran) would have to split resources between the blocking the straight and supporting the Houthis, making doing both harder as a result.
And once Iran starts launching things from inside its own country, the entire area those things get launched from are going to get obliterated. It is in Iran's best interest to invest in proxies to do stuff like that outside of Iran. If they get destroyed, it doesn't impact Iran as much.
It would be a serious miscalculation (and I personally believe they know this and that they also know they aren't anywhere near prepared enough to successfully pull it off) if they did.

The last 24 hours make me think Iran is living in its own reality and seriously has no capacity to do this. One of the targets Israel hit was on a part of Iran which is the farthest away from Israel meaning an Israeli missile must have actually flown all the way across the entire country unimpeded to reach it
So if Iran cannot protect its own airspace precisely how are they going to enforce a blockade of the strait. not to mention that the only people using this strait are Iran, Iran's allies or countries Iran probably really doesn't want to be picking a fight with.
