WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided "Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait - and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it."

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping," he said. "It is open for transit should Iran not do that."

a man is standing in a room with a golf cart in front of him ALT: a man is standing in a room with a golf cart in front of him

People who vehemently hate the trolley problem are the same ones who refuse to go for a headshot on a zombie they used to know, & so end up getting bitten and letting them all in. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, keep all trolley-haters away from vital guard duty. They simply cannot be trusted.
