Any battle there would be horrible to oil prices and more importantly to the danger of a MUCH wider war[s]! It hardly matters who one thinks will 'win'....as everyone will be loosers with a limited war and if it is prolonged and/or goes to advanced [sic] weapons, the loosers will be lost for months or years or dare we contemplate...for decades! Even playing this brinkmanship game is madness and suicidal. Very worrying, indeed! I trust neither the Iranians nor the US Military and their backers who love wars. That said, it doesn't take a genius to see that the Straits are right next to Iran. We are getting the blowback from our 1953 Coup and installation of the Shah! Time to apologize and be friends with Iran without any wars or interference...though not USA 'style'......
