There's no universe where either happens. Lebanon/Israel are talking it out here in the US and after Iran shooting a bunch of missiles into the Gulf States...yeah, they're not getting their money back.

What they will be getting is a 21st century dose of Rolling Thunder.

That's certainly possible. Hopefully the negotiations get started and reach a constructive outcome.

But if they don't - what comes after the 21st century dose of Rolling Thunder? What do we do once Iran has absorbed the Rolling Thunder and still has the ability to close the Strait and fire missiles at energy infrastructure in other Gulf states?
