US keeping Strait of Hormuz open is 'a massive force problem', says analyst

A former NATO analyst has characterized the US challenge of maintaining open passage through the Strait of Hormuz as a "massive force problem." According to the analyst, the naval blockade advocated by former President Donald Trump would necessitate a huge military deployment.

The analyst's comments were featured in a video report by Al Jazeera. The report highlighted the strategic and logistical difficulties associated with such an operation. The analyst emphasized that any blockade in the Strait of Hormuz would require an enormous commitment of military assets and personnel.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global energy shipments, and control over it has significant implications for regional security. The analyst's assessment underscores the potential scale of military engagement required in the region should such a blockade be pursued.
