Control of Venezuela and choking the strait directly puts a cog in China and Russias gearbox.
Taking out the entire Irani navy and most of its air defenses with limited civilian casualties followed by economic blockade is a positive in my book for now. France and UK are finally sending something. The rest of Europe will need to step up, which they will.
Not only Iran, Venezuela also. Both hurt China and Russia.
