They seem to be heading towards control of the strait, and the tolls from that could be a pretty good pickup for whatever new government forms?

Not sure how the gulf states on the other side of the strait are going to feel about that.
Apparently not enough for them to intervene (militarily?) even now while they have both the US and Israel actively on their side there?
Oman doesn't seem to care, Qatar capitulated quickly, the UAE is a walking corpse, Kuwait is as well until they kick the 5th fleet out, Iraq is already majority Shia, Saudi Arabia doesn't seem to care much.
