I don’t understand, why isn’t the land priced the same for both Jews and Arabs? It doesn’t make sense that Israel would discriminate against Jews in Galilee.
I don't understand this sentence: "hardliners in Tehran may calculate that triggering an open war (which might ultimately force Trump to withdraw)" why would Trump withdraw if there is an open war? It is actually counter to Trump's personality and history. In fact, Trump would probably take a more aggressive action, like taking over Kharg Island.
If they were in a war footing they could theoretically reclose the strait and attack critical targets in the region, causing an economic scenario in which Trump would have to deescalate.
I thought a major point of this article as that Iran cannot close the Strait thanks to US warships? Maybe I misread, but this stood out to me:
"The mission proved to both Trump and the Iranians that if the U.S. wants to, it can forcefully reopen the strait by escorting international shipping."
A war would make for different circumstances. For one, ships will be busy on operations that preclude escort missions. For another the general chaos surrounding a war in which munitions and drones would be flying every which way would likely stop commercial traffic. It's during the ceasefire that an escort strategy most effectively flips the balance.

Sounds like a land system bound to collapse under its own weight. Much like any socialist based system.
Let’s call the IRGC ‘strategy’ what it is: terrorism.
