    if the us flees from the war, the strait still wont be open due to iran demanding reparations.

    lol, no. Keeping the strait closed without the US still attacking makes no sense. They’d just receive even more hostility from the gulf states while wasting money and resources. If the US withdraws, they’ll open the strait so they can focus on preparing for the next war. They’ll demand reparations, but they know full well that they will never get them. Reparations aren’t a serious part of the conversation, only security guarantees that the US won’t immediately attack again.
