I’m not saying that the US will attack Iran - I’m saying that the US will send ships to patrol the waters where this happened. There won’t be violence unless Iran messes with them, but I don’t see what Iran has to gain either from capturing a single freighter or from an increased buildup of American forces in the region.
Iran is very much in a position to blockade the strait of Hormuz similarly the way Yemen blockaded Suez. Yemen already proved that US is powerless to stop the blockade.

Yemen was able to institute a blockade with far fewer resources. What makes you think Iran can’t?
