The key is to open the Strait of Hormuz. That's the only leverage Putin has when he is supreme-leading Iran right now. Do not strike any oil facility, because that will spook the already hiked oil market even more.

Can Israel navy help to open the Strait of Hormuz by escorting the oil tankers?

Can Iranian Kurds be the ground force, instead of having American troops on the ground? Those Iranian Kurds were Iranians anyway. Maybe they will help topple the Putin-impersonated supreme leader and lead to a revolution? Iranian Kurds are ready and eager to fight, even without other's support!

American boots on the ground will not go well with American Public.

In the long run, can Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other oil producing country build/ extend existing pipelines (linking other oil producers in the region?) to diversify their risk from the Strait of Hormuz? For example, the pipelines directly open to the east Mediterranea and Arabian sea? Can Saudi reopen/ repair its Trans-Arabian Pipeline and other pipelines? And Slovakia and Hungary or even EU can get middle-eastern oil and gas directly, no need to get it from Putin?

The new supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, is likely dead during the 03/03/2026's Israel strike of assembly of Experts in Qom, Iran. You cannot kill the dead people twice, if he is already dead? His first statement showed a lot of errors and doesn’t seem to be from him. While Putin is busying in supreme-leading Iran, if Ukraine got nothing to do right now, who don’t Ukraine distract Putin a little? Don’t seat too comfortably, if Ukraine got the time to help US?
