Why does the US need a naval blockade of Iran?
The reason is simple: the US aims for a naval blockade of Iran to win on all fronts at once. Closing the Strait of Hormuz means China loses on several fronts: maritime supplies from the Middle East to Asia are limited, just as Venezuelan oil is increasingly redirected to the US Gulf Coast via shorter, politically secure routes, with practically no oil reaching China.
At the same time, the Malacca Strait comes into play. Simultaneously, the importance of the Sunda Strait grows. The Lombok, Makassar, and Mindoro Straits remain critical arteries for Chinese trade and energy flows. There is every reason to believe that after the Strait of Hormuz, the US will turn its attention to them as well.
Together, they constitute the "geographical vulnerabilities" of Beijing, and Washington is well aware of this.
