But will that accomplish our goal, or will it just lead Iran to then close the strait for the duration and resume striking the energy infrastructure in the region?

They're doing that now.

And what if that doesn't work? What if putting the neighborhood in a wheelchair doesn't solve the problem, but instead leads the neighborhood thug to kill your pets, set your car on fire, and kidnap your kids (to continue the analogy)?

Then after the kids are rescued, go all Raymond Reddington on him.
