You completely oversell Iran capability, I guarantee you that f35 would go down in a war with a country with decent anti air such as Russia or China.
Iran never invested in such technology, they put all their money in drones and ballistic missiles which were extremely effective, we are a month in and the strait is still close.
Their strategy was never to try to sink us ships, it was disruption in the region to extend the conflict which was again very successful.
Pretty sure Iran didn't plan on being obliterated.
Why did they have a navy if this was their only plan?
Also blocking the straight is funny because the only people it hurts is everyone in the world but the US.
I'm sure Americans are finding it funny to pay for $3+ a gallon. The entire economy suffers from it.
$3 a gallon is less than a dollar per liter. Do you live in Saudi Arabia or a gulf state?
Here are historical real (inflation adjusted) gas prices for the US. You can decide how terrible this is:

How many F-35s went down due to the Russian and Chinese anti-air systems in Venezuela and Iran?
They did not have any.
