Why Iran is risking so much over the Strait of Hormuz

Context
None of the choices facing Iran’s leaders offer a clear path to victory, as the conflict with the US continues.
What it means
This headline is an analytical piece about Iran's strategic dilemma rather than a new development in the conflict. The oil supply risk and safe-haven moves from Iran-US tensions have already been captured in prior signals over the past 24 days — there is no new actor, escalation step, or channel here that hasn't already been priced in.
