"Iran could be making a huge mistake here because if the bluff is called, if it actually interrupts the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz -- the United States Navy will respond. It will reopen the strait and it could destroy the Iranian navy. It would effectively start a war," Charles Krauthammer said on Thursday's edition of FOX News' "Special Report."
“If the Iranians block an international strait, that is a breach of the most elementary rules of international law. It is an act of war and if America reopens the strait and the Iranian navy attacks America, that’s essentially a declaration of war on us. And then the idea, the notion of declaring war is moot," he added.
