Could US amphibious troops re-open the Strait of Hormuz?

In his first major speech on the Iran war, Donald Trump said
America is on course to finish its military campaign in the next
three weeks. But to do so, he will have to find solutions to both
the Strait, and Iran's remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.

To discuss, Roland Oliphant is joined from Saudi Arabia by Andrew
Milburn, a former US Marine Corps colonel and ex-deputy Commander
of Special Operations Command Central (CENTCOM), the headquarters
responsible for all American special operations in the Middle
East.

He explains what operations the Marines could undertake in the
Strait, why a potential plan to seize Iran’s uranium is do-able
but dangerous, and why some in the Gulf are worried there could
be a premature ceasefire.
