I suspect the way to achieve the top war aim is to stop the war, or maybe go back in time and prevent Trump from starting it.
US Vice President JD Vance declares that the Trump administration’s top goal in the war with Iran is to “keep oil and gasoline cheap for Americans.”
“And then, obviously, goal number two is ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon,” Vance tells Fox News. “I feel confident we’re accomplishing both of those goals, but it’s inherently an unpredictable thing, because the Iranians themselves are unpredictable, and they sometimes don’t honor the commitments they’ve made to us.”
"Controlling the strait" has dropped off the list, I see.
