How would you reopen the Strait of Hormuz after Iran had shown it could close it?
Short answerThe hypothetical scenario combines maritime action, coastal raids, and air support, with its mission limits and risks left explicit.
NotesAsked about reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Dr. Clarke sketches a hypothetical operation involving maritime action, coastal raids, and air support. The stated scope distinguishes raids from holding territory or conducting a campaign to replace a government. The discussion also raises coastal geography and risks to aircraft and landing forces. This is an attributed scenario explored during the exchange, which identifies no agreed coalition plan.
