It’s what the Iranians will do if you shut the island down.
Maybe they will incinerate less as a result, but they will still shut down the rest of the gulf.

Our cost: every 2 weeks we drop a few bombs in a few locations,
Their cost: no oil/gas and eventually no nothing as no one gets paid.
Seems like a low-cost winning strategy to me.
