Ayatollah Khamenei was actually opposed to closing it, and killing him put that option back on the table for the Iranians -the economic fallout both domestically in the US and elsewhere etc. etc. As far as foreign policy blunders go this one takes some beating, you knew it was heading that way as soon as Trump started claiming they'd achieved "total victory". 2

Plus increased Ukraine’s importance on the World Stage as a leader in drone warfare, to the chagrin of his Kremlin buddies, and massively damaged America's reputation in the eyes of Gulf states plus anyone else paying attention. 1

Which will massively benefit China when it comes to secure exports of goods to Middle East and potentially Europe in the long run. 1
