If the Iranians refuse to come to terms with Trump, we need to just bomb them back to the Stone Age. We don't want to destroy their oil production because that would have the same effect on oil prices as closing the Strait of Hormuz except it would be a long term effect. 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait and 3/4 of it, which is 15% of the world's oil supply, is Iranian oil so a longterm destruction of their oil facilities would send prices sky high for many years to come. Blockading their exports will starve them of their revenue while keeping their oil infrastructure in place for the next regime.

   Terrorists have the same mentality as the WW 2 kamikaze's. If you want to preserve the "oil facilities", you will need manpower on-the-ground to suddenly/immediately take it over. Otherwise, they will blow everything up. They just don't care.
