That's a pretty naive take. The US is energy independent, but financially intertwined. GCC countries hold some of the largest investment capitals in the world, and they have highly invested in the AI bubble and the US stock market in general. If Iran keeps blockading the strait of Hormuz and targeting their oil infrastructure, they will remove hundreds of billions of dollars from the US economy both as a pressure towards the US and as a way to eventually recover.
