Tanker for Tanker axios.com

Why it matters: This is the first time the U.S. military has struck Iranian tankers in retaliation for Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz — rather than to prevent them from violating the naval blockade.
A U.S. official said the move was part of a new "tanker for tanker" policy approved by President Trump to further deter Iranian attacks on tankers that move through the strait.
Driving the news: U.S. officials said around 100 targets were attacked during Tuesday's strikes.
The Iranian government tankers were anchored off Iran's coast north of the U.S. naval blockade line. U.S. drones launched missiles that hit their engine rooms.

This is a good strategy.
Iran will run out of tankers before the rest of the world does.

You’re right. It’s a mystery

Absolutely this. We can target and disable strategically without even upsetting the tanker master's yeoman [also known as a goat].

Good. Now bomb them into submission and let's be done with this.

Why is Barak Ravid the government mouthpiece on all things Iran?

why would you not is the correct question?

How much would the pay have to be to captain one of these tankers for anyone through the straight?

Probably because he knows which bathroom to use and
likes his president standing up to people who hate America, not on his knees looking up at them with a mouth full.

Because I understand the consequences of the actions I guess.

Tanker for tanker is a excellent strategy. 
Hit another one and it could change to X2 Tankers lost.

I asked why someone would vote for "tanker for tanker being hit" as the OP said.

You voted to spike oil prices even further?
