I have no idea what Iran would actually do, but if I were their Supreme Leader, I would:

1) allow oil tanker traffic destined to Russia and China (although Russia may not need to import any ME oil at all)

2) offer to not attack any oil tankers not destined for the US / Israel, or by oil tankers operated by US / Israeli companies, in exchange for the diplomatic promise that these countries will not support the Israeli-US military action on Iran in any way

3) continue to attack oil tankers destined for the US / Israel, or tankers operated by US / Israeli companies

Then maybe somehow they can use this policy to drive a wedge between US and other western countries, and over time use this as leverage to steer the US into some sort of cease fire negotiations?
