    To get the southern ports of Saudi-Arabia they have to get past Yemen, propably also a bad idea.

    Oman might work, but no idea if the Omani government is open for such a move.

    And if they make it somehow, they’d still need landing craft, escort ships and so on. The whole thing seems impractical, but I’m a amateur what do I know. Maybe the military smarty pants have a plan.

      Going past Yemen seems much more manageable then going through the strait at any rate. But what do I know, I’m not a military general.

      The naval bases at Qatar and Kuwait should also have the vast majority of the equipment that’s necessary, unless the plan is a full ground invasion of Iran which is a batshit insane idea.
