U.S. To Iran: DON'T TRY IT...

[The T]

If only we drilled for our own oil here in America

When oil is all used up in other places, then WE will control the world with our oil.

I have heard this theory bandied about...

US Issues Threat on Straight of Hormuz - YouTube!

 

[Ed Spacer]

You are a complete idiot. Its called eliminating a threat of an islamofacist regime who would be.more than happy to wipe everything off the planet if it had its way. Appeasement and isolationism created our pearl harbor attacks,nazi expansion into europe,and 9/11. It has not a freaking thing to do with oil. If scumbag obama had let usrael do what it wants,then israel could have quietly dealt with the problem.

So how bad do you want & need that oil America? Are you willing to go to War with Iran and die for it?

Iran warns of closing strategic Hormuz oil route.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.

It was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran's oil shipments.

In response, the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet's spokeswoman warned that any disruption "will not be tolerated." The spokeswoman, Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, said the U.S. Navy is "always ready to counter malevolent actions to ensure freedom of navigation."

With concern growing over a possible drop-off in Iranian oil supplies, a senior Saudi oil official said Gulf Arab nations are ready to offset any loss of Iranian crude.

That reassurance led to a drop in world oil prices. In New York, benchmark crude fell 77 cents to $100.57 a barrel in morning trading. Brent crude fell 82 cents to $108.45 a barrel in London.

"Closing the Strait of Hormuz is very easy for Iranian naval forces," Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV. "Iran has comprehensive control over the strategic waterway," the navy chief said.

The threats underline Iranian concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could target Tehran's vital oil industry and exports.

UH-Oh!!!!!!



Iran has officially over-stepped the.....

......Cali-Girl LIMITS!!!!!!

 

[rhodescholar]

And who are we to tell any Nation they're not allowed to have Nukes? We got em and we've used em. We have no right to put sanctions on Iran.

Asshole, iran signed the NPT and is legally bound not to build nuclear weapons.

Iran is not "any other nation," they are the world's top terrorist state, and are fomenting wars across the mideast.

The UN has already slapped FOUR sets of legally binding UNSC resolutions requiring that it cease enriching uranium, all of which iran has ignored.

Iran is also ignoring UNSC resolutions requiring it to stop providing weapons to terrorist groups like hamas and hezbollah.

Ron paul idiots like to latch onto simplistic phrases and meaningless slogs: "end the fed", "end all foreign engagements", etc., which are totally irrational and fool only the stupidest and least knowledgeable.

No wonder that 99% of the lyndon larouche advocates stapled themselves onto ron paul the second larouche decided not to run for president for the 140th time, morons attract each other.

Iran has just shown that obama still has clout in the region. They are returning the drone. A pink toy

U.S. drone that crashed in Iran goes miniature - Checkpoint Washington - The Washington Post



“He said he wanted it back, and we will send him one,” said Reza Kioumarsi, the head of cultural production at the Ayeh Art group.

Ayeh Art group designs “cultural products” — mugs with verses of the Koran printed on them, for instance, and small buttons picturing mosques. This month, the firm began producing a 1:80 scaled model of the RQ-170, the sophisticated drone that was being operated by the CIA when it crashed in eastern Iran. The firm is now making 2,000 of them a day.

“This is not made in China,” Kioumarsi stressed.

The toys come with a transparent plastic stand emblazoned with a quotation from Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic: “We will put America under our feet.”

obama gets the respect he deserves.

Does the Hormuz Oil Route belong to Iran?

Not sure that matters.

Sure it does.

Does Iran have any reasonable claim to block this oil route?

Iran does not now the Straight of Hormuz any more than Saudi Arabia owns the Persian Gulf. It is an international shipping route. The US is not the sole use of this route. Iran is strategically located to block it at the narrowest point wich is about 50 miles wide. That's it and that's all.

Yeah.....we need a new War.....​

January 17, 2012​

"We’re doing this terrible thing all over again. As before, we’re letting a bunch of ignorant, sloppy-thinking politicians and politicized foreign-policy experts draw “red line” ultimatums. As before, we’re letting them quick-march us off to war. This time their target is Iran. And heaven knows Iran’s leaders are bad guys capable of doing dangerous things. But if we’ve learned anything, anything at all, from plunging into war in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, it is this: we must have a public scrubbing of fighting rhetoric before, not after, the war begins."

A solid majority of likely voters would support military action should Iran move to close the Strait of Hormuz, a new IBOPE Zogby interactive poll finds.

The January 5-9 survey of 2,067 likely voters asked, “Do you support or oppose U.S. Military action should Iran move to close the Strait of Hormuz, the only sea route into and out of the Persian Gulf?”

Support for military action is strongest among Republicans (80%) and independents (59%). Fewer than half of Democrats (47%) support such military action.

And should Iran actually take action to close the Strait, support would run much higher.
