"Tanker Attacks Risk Overplaying Iran’s Hand and Reigniting a War"
Poor metaphor by Mr. MacFarquhar, but going with it
You can't overplay a winning hand
The metaphor is you overplay a bluff, US was the one bluffing
US weapons supply is low, including 1M+ defensive ones vs 10K Iran built weapons, US regional bases are filled with holes, evacuated troops, lost aircraft, carrier had a 'laundry' fire
And most importantly of all they can't hold the Strait
These 'analysts' are >worthless
