The goal: to prevent a nuclear Iran lording it over the Middle East and the world’s oil supply. The current approach also seems, from the U.S. side, overly conditioned by Mr. Trump’s business-rationalist calculation that an Iranian leader might be found, as in Venezuela, who would recognize the lure of an offer he can’t refuse.  In recent days, Trump and his aides assessed that a mission to pry open the chokepoint would push the conflict beyond his timeline of four to six weeks. He decided that the U.S. should achieve its main goals of hobbling Iran’s navy and its missile stocks and wind down current hostilities while pressuring Tehran diplomatically to resume the free flow of trade. If that fails, Washington would press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait, the officials said.  The U.S. Army suspended an aircrew after military helicopters were filmed flying low near Kid Rock’s Tennessee home.
