Sorry to dump on you, Shad.
Yemen is swimming in guns and they keep interdicting weapons shipments from Iran.
You didn't dump on me. I think you misunderstood my post. When I mean boots on the ground I mean the US military not KSA. I mean high intensity warfare not the low intensity. There would be no major shipping as any vessel not flying under US nor allied ID is destroyed outright. The focus on maintaining trade (oil) means a blockade is impossible. Think of the English Channel during WW2. Movement through the area was very restricted. It wasn't a trade route. It was a death trap. Uboats took the northern route to avoid it for first duty. The French ports relax the resupply issue after first duty but construction was still in Germany. Iran wouldn't have a functional port nor a navy in the south.
