US Gulf base logistics are structurally exposed if Iran enforces Hormuz interdiction even selectively, and IDF-Gaza planning confirms Jerusalem treats the Iran and Gaza theaters as operationally coupled.
Iran's declaration that US weapons will not transit Hormuz into regional bases is operationally significant in ways the diplomatic coverage understates. US Central Command's logistics architecture depends on pre-positioning and transit through the Gulf — Al Udeid in Qatar, Al Dhafra in the UAE, and multiple maritime prepositioning ships depend on Hormuz access. If Iran is prepared to enforce this even selectively, every resupply run becomes a potential engagement. Capability we can measure: Iran has anti-ship missile batteries, fast-attack craft, and submarine assets sufficient to threaten commercial and military shipping in the lower Gulf. Intent we infer — and right now Iranian state media is signaling intent loudly. The IDF's parallel planning to resume Gaza operations contingent on an Iran ceasefire deal tells you Jerusalem reads this the same way: the Iran file and the Gaza file are now linked in operational time.
