As Adm McRaven said the best solution now is to open Hormuz while the nuclear negotations procede.
This may take 18 months.
Trump s plan to send US warships to escort ships through Hormuz could spark a direct attack on a wrshipand its sinking. Some one has to stop the Epstein gang!

There are also fears the Epstein gang may bomb Iran s railway link with China and so spark a direct war with China after squandering what remains of US miissiles.
This is the kind of crazy stuff Kuhner comes up with because he still thinks he can make money out of war.

Aside from a very strong sense of deja vu about all this (Trump said the US would help escort ships more than a month ago and nothing happened). as Jim Bianco notes there are a four of possible outcomes from "Project Freedom", two good, two bad:
US escorts ships out, Iran does nothing, war is over
US escorts ships out, Iran fires on ships that the US can repel, war is over
US escorts ships out, Iran fires on ships and hits them, or they hit a mine. The image of burning ships is a disaster for the Navy and the US, especially if it's a US warship.
The US keeps threatening to do this, but the Navy never actually does it (akin to them not firing on the 40 or so fast boats in the Strait today when Trump said they would a several days ago). The US can be criticized for talking a big game with little action.
Outcomes 1 and 2 would send stocks higher; 3 and 4 would lead to the opposite, although in the current reality where nothing matters, there is a possibility that all 4 outcomes sends stocks to even recorder highs.
