Iran can strike out at whomever they wish. They can beat their hands on their fists, pretend they own Persian Gulf, and even shoot off missiles into Israel. The truth is the nature of warfare has changed, and instead of large ground forces trying to occupy territory instead we quickly take out a government and it's military forces.
Look at what happened in Iraq - Our military forces moved so quickly and took out both the government and it's military that the entire country was nothing more than a power vacuum with over a hundred thousand Iraqis being killed. If this is what Iran wants for it's citizens, so be it.
Can Iran fuck up the Persian Gulf? They sure can. However, take special note of all of the pipelines that have been built in the Gulf - and more importantly who built them. It wasn't the US. All of the countries that use the Persian Gulf to ship oil... Now have pipelines that lead to the Red Sea. In the mean time, the US will get all of it's oil from the same places - Canada and Mexico.
