Before the start of Operation Epic Fury, Gen. Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told President Donald J. Trump several times that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, stating that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world’s most vital shipping lane in the case of a full-scale war with the United States.
President Trump acknowledged the risk, moving forward with his decision to launch wide-spread strikes against Iran alongside Israel, telling his team that he believed Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the Strait of Hormuz – and even if Iran tried, the situation could be quickly handled by the U.S. Navy, according to people with knowledge of the discussions who spoke to the Wall Street Journal.
