Why is that likely? It won't reopen the Strait - Kharg is at the "wrong end" for that to have any effect on Iran's ability to hit vessels trying to transit.

Iran is presumably letting some of their ships through. If they want to play the game of Oil Denial, then other people can play also: seizing Kharg brings their oil exports to zero.

Again, to use the formulation from one of the other threads, Iran has shown itself willing and able to take a lot of punches (metaphorically). They're not like a schoolyard bully who runs away (or picks another victim) the moment you stand up to them.

Fine, if they can take punches. If the initial tune-up didn't work, then put the neighborhood thug in a wheelchair.
