If sandal wearing Houthi rebels can significantly challenged the US Navy in red sea through a combination of asymmetric warfare tactics, it is much more easily for Iran to block the strait. It's no brainer.
The issue is blocking strait of Hormuz doesn't hurt U.S. and Israel directly, it hurts Japan, South Korea, China and many other countries which will impact U.S. eventually. It will hurt maga agendas.
