I previously commented on the U.S. withdrawal of Patriot missile batteries and navy resources from the Persian Gulf, and the acceptance by Iran of a new essentially pro-U.S. Iraqi Prime Minister. There is reason to believe both sides have wisely stepped back from the brink. Now a new potential flashpoint has arisen. We can only hope that wiser heads in the White House and Pentagon will deter any completely unnecessary conflict.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned on Saturday of retaliatory measures against the United States if Washington caused problems for tankers carrying Iranian fuel to Venezuela .... with the first expected to reach the country's waters on Sunday...

“If our tankers in the Caribbean or anywhere in the world face trouble caused by the Americans, they [the US] will also be in trouble," Rouhani said in a telephone conversation with Qatar's Emir....

"Iran will never initiate a conflict," Rouhani said. "We have always the legitimate right to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity and to serve our national interests, and we hope that the Americans will not commit an error....

Iran to retaliate over any US 'trouble' for Venezuela-bound ships
 
The only thing that Iran would notice is their tankers going to the bottom after their keel is broken by a torpedo from one of our silent killers.
Actually, the recent “pullback from the brink,” after Iran surprised the U.S. by openly and directly firing missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq shows that both sides are able “to notice” each other’s capabilities. Of course the U.S. can seize or stop or sink these ships in the Caribbean. If Trump thinks he can get away acting as if he is JFK in the Cuban Missile Crisis, he certainly might be tempted to try it. Is that what you are suggesting?
 
People who have dealt with the Iranians say that they respect only one thing: standing up to them.

I hope that the United States (through a third party) sends word to Iran that their tankers will not be allowed to dock in Venezuela.

There is no need for any threats.

Iran will find a face-saving way to back down.

Largest oil reserves in the world and Maduro has to beg Iran for fuel.

What a loser.

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Iran's economy take a hit when they try to cash the check from Venezuela...


I just hope they remember that the Kenyan can't send them any more pallets of cash to bail their stupid asses out!!!

American heroes attacking civilian vessels? Making you proud?
You would never know and neither would Venezuela.
That would be nothing but terrorism and every good soldier would reject such an order.
How? They would never know what the orders were except the CO. Why do you think that is terrorism? They are violating sanctions.

The sanctions are not confirmed by the UN but unilateral terrorist measures of the Trump regime. Venezuela has the right to free trade. And even if such sanctions were justified, that would not justify sinking tankers, thus killing people and polluting the environment.

I agree. That doesn't make it right what they are doing.

No.

The Empire has heavy sanctions on Venezuela. This prevents them from selling their oil. It causes terrible hardships for the Venezuelan people, (then you idiots claim socialism doesn’t work) but the US MSM refuses to reports this. Probably because they are completely owned by the MIC and the Deep State.

Iran is trying to help Venezuela, in defiance of the Empire. I would expect Dumb Don to do something stupid and deadly. Then you dumb bastards will cheer the killing.

Sanctions are an act of war. Americans don’t know this because their media and ruling class are corrupt.

Ears was very good at imposing sanctions. Don is following in his footsteps. Anything for the benefit of the MIC.

I expect he will do something stupid and the MSM and dumb Americans will cheer his actions. Just as when he murdered the Iranian general in cold blood.

Oh patriotism is so wonderful. LOL.

The Empire must RULE!

The Venezuelan economy urgently needs the fuel. There are even reports of farmers who couldn´t deliver their goods.

Its swamp, to be precise.
