Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The confrontation tests the credibility of the Carter Doctrine, which commits Washington to a decisive role in the flow of oil and other commodities through the Persian Gulf. The ability of the U.S. military to respond to any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz has been called into question.
