Iran Threatens to Expand Gulf Strikes to Deprive U.S. and Allies of Oil ‘For Years’

Most of us don't want to see the world burn.

If he keeps it up, we will all go down together.

The Shia Iranian moslems are making a mistake by threatening the Sunni / salafi gulf nations.

The Sunni moslems despise the Shia Iranians and see shia’ism as a heretical sect. It’s a blood feud that dates back to ancient Islamist times and tales after the death of the inventor of islamism.



The Islamist Iranian regime’s military threatened to expand its strikes against Persian Gulf energy facilities and U.S. interests in the wake of President Donald Trump threatening to unleash American firepower against the country’s infrastructure.
Who else (if anyone) see what I see in the fact that there are plenty of other sources for oil on this planet?

Sure. But the supply is finite. This means that if you cut of supply to a part of it, it doesn't matter that there's still more available you still are constraint by what's available at any given moment, meaning prices go up.

Oil is also of course not the only isssue. They are restricting access to a waterway. A waterway that services to flow of goods in general. This means that everything from cars, to toy dolls, to cruise ships are now stuck.

I don't want or need anything from that region.

Change my mind.

As if they were first, who started attack on unarmed ships in high seas. Don't you recall Venezuela's cargo boats and capturing the tankers? If Carribbean sea is American, than Persian gulf is Persian, you know.

Trump still holds all the cards. Iran cannot sell oil since the US Navy controls the Gulf of Oman.
Trump can seize any tanker with Iranian oil like we seized Maduro's oil off VZ.

Iran put Trump on notice that the GCC would face consequences for backing the the Epstein Class in their war on Iran. That’s why this war needed to end yesterday.

He can try. But in fact, if he captured ships, cooperative with Iran-Russia-China-India, it means, that he just increased effectiveness of Iranian blockade. But every ship assigned to piracy, won't be used for military goals.
And, what is more important, Russia-China-India-Iran will attack US tankers in other places (as it actually happened in Hormuz strait as response on your actions in Carribbean).
America has a big fleet, but even the largest fleet can't be everywhere to protect everything.
 
The normal dynamic is that one who is vulnerable declines to make threats against its adversaries. Iran has essentially no air or sea defense, their economy is in the shitter, they lack the WATER they need to keep life moving along in their biggest city. They are ******* VULNERABLE! If only there were a President or someone with the balls to destroy them. It would be easy.
Both us and the Iranians are vulnerable

But only the crazy shia WANT world war 3

I agree that seizing ships leaving the Gulf will not work

We want the oil to leave the Strait

What we dont want is to allow any money to reach Iran as long as the crazy shia are in charge

You want to have their oil, but you don't want to pay for it? It's understandable desire, but, you know, the whole history of civilization is about development of property protection mechanisms. Like, you know, hanging the thieves.

He holds all the cards? The US just bombed Iran, they have been sanctioned for decades. Fought a war for 8 years with hundreds of thousands of casualties and included the use of chemical weapons. Yet the regime endures. You actually think seizing their oil works as a detterence, when they have the ability to affect GLOBAL trade at will. An ability that Trump has shown he can't prevent without paying a price he's not willing to pay.

But the rabbit is more motivated to bear the problems, because "a fox can lose his meal, and a rabbit can lose his life". They are fighting for their very survival.

Actually, it seems that only crazy American Evangelists want WW3 and return of anti-christ.

If you wanted to argue the morality of it all I can only say neither side is acting in accordance with international law.

I'm just stating the issues as the exist to counter the idea that all of this can be solved easily or without significant global pain.

I want all of the oil to go all over the world as needed

Iran supplies only some of the oil from the Gulf

The rest is from the arab oil fields

Whoever buys the oil will pay for it

I just want to deny that money from reaching the shia caliphate in iran

I know the Church Age will end in God’s own time when Jesus returns

But its not up to me

My conflict with iran is much more practical and down to earth

And how do you propose to stop it?

The way I see it the options are limited to genocide, an indefinite occupation of the Persian Gulf area or outright invasion of Iran.
