The strawman that is put up is . Mining straights blocking all ships and hurting iran sea exports, even if they could get out through pakistan.

If houtis in yemen can choose which ships are allowed to go through red sea, irgc has access to even better tech and volumes.

So real threat is yemen l8ke blockade which was not stoppable.
