This blockade of a blockade that the US Navy is conducting in the Persian Gulf is just a show

Donald Trump has already concluded that the Iranians are too tough a nut to crack. Let's give him credit for that, Trump is no one's fool, although he is a bit of a clown. Trump can't very well say "Hey, I can't beat them, I'm out of here!", can he? So, instead, he's created this rather surreal blockade of a blockade concept -- Trump is very creative -- to give him a bit of cover before he completely shuts down all military operations. After he finds, to no one's surprise, especially himself, that the Iranians really don't care if he wants to blockade their own blockade of the Persian Gulf, he will announce that he has "totally defeated Iran on air, land and sea, and, therefore, they are no longer a threat." Then, his ships will sail away, careful not to get too close to Iran. The Iran war will formally end within a couple of months, with Trump sounding the triumphs of his own military operations, and with Iran in full control of the Persian Gulf, and, really, of the entire region. Trump's already said that oil prices will remain high, so, he's basically acknowedging that he has no control whatsoever in the Middle East anymore, at all.
