Why can't the powerful and expensive US navy just retake the straight?

Powerful and expensive navy obsolete vs drones?

Yeah, I think that's it. Apparently there are a series of islands that dot the strait that are fortified and equipped with military installations along with mines in the strait and aerial and aquatic drones. Also, the Iranian coastline is mountains so ground invasion to that area where attacks originate are untenable.

Maybe ask @Cje95 ...

yeah just look at the geography of the strait of Hormuz. even just looking at the shape of the landmasses vs the water, it's easy to why you can't take it with naval might alone

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Had he been more astute, he would've taken advantage of it being Easter and publicly offered a temporary ceasefire for a few days to mourn for those killed. He could've ended his offer with the hope that a resolution could be built to get the straight re-opened.

His statement, however, sounds desperate and out-of-control. Its pretty amazing watching someone throw away all their goodwill and a huge voter mandate in a few weeks because he has America Last loyalty to Bibi.
