Iran effectively shut the passage during the war by attacking and threatening ships \u2014 a tactic that proved its greatest strategic advantage. It sent the price of oil, fertilizer and other goods soaring at a time when world leaders were already struggling to address rising costs.<\/p>\n<p>The interim deal was supposed to reopen the waterway, but Iran has attacked ships moving through the strait on a route overseen by the U.S. military that is outside Tehran&#8217;s control.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has now threatened to reopen the strait by force \u2014 but experts say that will require a much bigger armada if not tens of thousands of American ground troops.
