This country has bred half or more of a generation of beta males who don't have an ounce of selflessness.
It's sickening.
On the bright side this conflict exposes them for what they are.
Selfish assholes who can't sacrifice an ounce of discomfort for any reason.

1/10 The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276M/day in lost exports and disrupt $159M/day in imports, a combined economic damage of ~$435M/day, or $13B/month.
Over 90% of Iran's $109.7B in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf. Oil/gas accounts for 80% of government export earnings and 23.7% of GDP. Kharg Island alone generates ~$53B/year, or as I noted to @TIME, "$78 billion a year in energy revenue.

2/10 CRUDE OIL: Iran was exporting ~1.5M barrels/day, earning $139M/day at wartime pricing (~$87/barrel), though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions. A blockade zeroes this out overnight. Kharg Island, which handles 92% of crude exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with no viable alternative. That's $139M/day, gone.

9/10 CURRENCY COLLAPSE ACCELERANT: The rial has already cratered from 42,000 to 1.5M per dollar. Banks are limiting withdrawals to $18-30/day. Overall inflation: 47.5%. A blockade eliminating all forex earnings pushes the rial into terminal hyperinflation. The regime issued its largest-ever banknote, 10M rials, worth about $7.
quote:
10/10 BOTTOM LINE: A naval blockade imposes ~$435M/day in combined economic damage. Storage fills in 13 days, forcing well shut-ins that cause permanent reservoir damage. The rial enters terminal collapse. Iran's alternatives outside the Strait can replace less than 10% of Gulf throughput. The blockade makes continued resistance economically impossible.

This could have been done at the beginning.

The only thing I can think of is we wanted to take out most of their Navy and defenses.

Not at all. Their defensive and offensive capabilities had to be drastically degraded first

No Jeff, it couldn’t.

The point of releasing these details is to have the enemy think we can do it, whether we can or not is irrelevant.

The peace plan is agreement on all points or agreement on no points. If the negotiations failed, then there is no agreement.
Well, there you have it. There is no peace in Gaza with Israel/Hamas. Can we get our $10 billion back from the Board of Peace?
I’d settle for just getting the $600 Million back for a pier that we built to supply Gaza with food and supplies after we supplied Israel with bombs to wipe out the Gazans old food and supplies - you know, the pier that lasted a month then floated away
