Needs confirmation but according to this document there were 139 casualties, 146 injured and several helicopters and there bases destroyed by the Iranian missile attack on US base.
I think after this episode it's fair to say US and Iran both never want a direct confrontation.
Iran doesn't want because of US conventional force and US would never want to use it's conventional power cause Iran will ignite all it's proxies to a level making life hell for Israel, UAE and Saudis which would hurt US a lot and US can't really win the proxy war against Iran.

Countries whose major oil supplies come from Strait of Hormuz are China, Japan and India, if a war happens and the Strait of Hormuz is blocked these countries would be effected the most. US doesn't depend on the Strait as much as it used to do maybe that's why they decided to take the step when they will not be as effected by the blockage.
If it happens then Port of Adan would be the best option and Japan has already sent their troops to protect their oil tankers.
