According to Axios, the White House is preparing for a possible military conflict between the Strait of Hormuz and Iran that could last from one day to one month. A US official stated that the duration of the conflict depends on whether Iran continues to attack merchant ships and said that Iran must learn a lesson. At present, diplomatic channels are stagnant and military pressure is returning to the center of Trump's strategy. White House officials believe that there is room for escalation in the situation. In recent weeks, hundreds of oil tankers have passed through the strait, easing internal concerns that conflicts would immediately lead to a sharp rise in oil prices.
