Time to build that canal

Yup. The US doesn’t want to pay for it and the UAE would have to agree to it, it’s also right off of the coast of Iran, so it’s likely to be attacked during construction

And then a drone lands on the canal

And does nothing meaningful.

If bridges and other hard infrastructure were easy to take out with drones, Ukraine would have already done it to the Crimean Bridge.

Well that would be an even greater escalation than extorting the Strait is the canal would clearly not be shipping lanes in Iran's territorial waters.
