@jolyonIran's playbook: $4 gas, U.S. troop casualties, a strait no one can fully reopen. They can't win, but they can make it too costly to keep fighting.

Possible endings: a deal Tehran can sell at home, a price Washington deems too high, or escalation that makes both sides irrelevant.

A sign reads "DIAMOND" and the text on the billboard says "...به تنگ آمده At The Breaking Point #ننگ_هرمز". Two men on a scooter are visible in the foreground.
