It's easy to see how this threat by Iran has the potential to create a world wide crisis. I suspect the Obama Administration has looked at all options and communicated with both the Russians and Chinese as to possible scenarios.
Should Iran attempt to blockade the strait one could be sure any tanker attempting to leave will be escorted by a Man of War flying the flag of the US, Britain or France; Iranian forces attacking such a vessel would be committing an act of war.
I suspect the Obama Administration has back-channel contact with leaders of the Iranian Green Movement and if hostilites break out supplies & intel will be provided by us to the citizens of Iran, allowing them to battle the thugs who killed and injured many young people under orders of the theocratic leadership.
Yes we'll do anything for that black gold. We'll kill us a Million Mofos over that shit. Now the only questions is...Are you willing to send your loved ones over there to die for it?
