Iran tried playing this game once before and got their asses solidly thumped. This scenario would be a great excuse to destroy their entire military and industrial military base.

The Iranians did attempt to block the straight in the 80’s. They occupied several oil platforms and mounted artillary on them and also used them launch gun boats to harass shipping. My brother was on one of the SEAL teams that raided the platforms and removed the threat. It was more of a body count than a raid.
