Nah. The best an adult could do would be to pull out of the region, but even if the US did that, there is no way Iran willingly goes back to the previous status quo. Iran controls the strait and the oil flow now, and it knows it.

This is just one of the many ways Trump has done permanent damage to the world that can’t be undone even after he’s out of office/imprisoned/dead.
