The Strait of Hormuz is a problem, sure. But the solution being floated here is to detonate "a dozen thermonuclear weapons" through friendly territory to carve a new shipping lane. This is real. Someone typed this out and hit post. The pitch: wider than Panama, deeper than Suez, and Iran can't touch it. The cost: glassing a corridor of land with nuclear weapons like it's a Minecraft terraforming project.
