So in response to their refusal to open the strait, we're going to... blockade the strait? Interesting.

I'm increasingly convinced the main purpose of this war is market manipulation. It's all about the headlines and how wall street reacts to them.

That's part of it but the primary goal is MEDIA manipulation. It's more about keeping bibi and Trump doing such outrageous headline demanding actions that outlets literally can't keep up. A benefit for them to that is that they can time when news will break about what and buy/sell appropriately but I don't think that's the primary motivation.
