Just wondering aloud, mind drifting on today's ride. Given how fanatical the Iranian Republic Guard is, what if they put a reasonably well armed IRG force on one of their "shadow fleet tankers" and sent it out of the Strait? Iran would warn off the US over the radio "do not approach our tanker or you will be fired on ..." but US would send in it's helicopter anyway ignoring the warnings and a few marines who'd abseil down probably all be dead before they got to the deck.

Trūmp can't understand ... But it worked in Venezuela ...

The US/and/or Nato have encountered similar before for example the somali pirates worked with the same idea not really a challenge because of radar and things like that.
What could be an challenge or at least unproven is the drone submarine's Iran showed in some of their clips, but best if my knowledge there has been no records of them being able to do anything, i might as well still be prototypes/steel hulls. (like we seen before from them)

The attack on USS Cole was pretty successful
