Iran and Oman want to jointly control the Strait of Hormuz as if they own it, or made it, and it was not created by God. That is a criminal expropriation and won’t be allowed to stand. Every strategic choke point on Earth could be claimed by proximal nations of international maritime law is allowed to be disregarded.
The United States and Russia could begin to charge tolls for Bering Strait passages, and Russia would claim exclusive control of the N.E. passage and Canada the Northwest jointly with the U.S.A. Greenland and Canada would jointly claim the entrance to Baffin Bay. Iran's claim over the Strait of Hormuz and desire to continue enriching uranium are not acceptable for global security. The mystery is why President Trump has deferred law enforcement so long as he has.
Plainly new interdiction technologies to keep the Strait of Hormuz free of pirates and protection rackets with fast boats or mines should follow whatever terminal military action against the Iran regime occurs. There are so many inventors of cheap weapons these days with asymmetric financial value. Perhaps saturation of the Strait of Hormuz with hyper-modern low profile autonomous versions of the civil war ship U.S.N. Monitor with kinetic and rocket capabilities could provide some ship escort services as part of a constellation of low cost sentries.
