Okay, still trying to figure out what chapter of "Art of the Deal" this whole strategy is from:
* Straight of Hormuz was free and open to everyone.
* Kill children of people who could close it, angering them.
* They close the straight, causing us huge economic damage.
* Threaten war crimes if they don't open it back up.
* Back down when they call your bluff.
* Impotently grouse on social media that they won't open it, saying, "Open the fuckin' straight, praise be to Allah!"
