3rdnlng Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Bloviating. A parlimentarian shooting his mouth off. Like Mark Udall threatening Venezuela. There has been rumblings about this for awhile. It would be very easy to do it. The shipping lanes are only 2 miles wide each way with a 2 mile "median strip" between them. I'm sure that we would confront them but those !@#$ing idiots could try most anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Speaking of Iran, may we have our spy drone back, please? No? Oh, ok. Color me surprised; I would have thought for sure that Obama's "dialogue with Iran" would have paid some dividends here. .

Frit0 Bandit0 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 2008 similar bark, ..."In response, Vice Admiral Kevin Cosgriff, commander of the U.S. 5th Fleet stationed in Bahrain across the Persian Gulf from Iran, warned that such an action by Iran would be considered an act of war,..." and we would then have to invade Indonesia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Speaking of Iran, may we have our spy drone back, please? No? Oh, ok. Color me surprised; I would have thought for sure that Obama's "dialogue with Iran" would have paid some dividends here. I think this portion of the article outlines specifically how much Iran fears our president: "Obama begs Iran to give him back his toy plane," proclaimed a headline from Iran's Fars News Agency Tuesday. It's like Iran's news agency hired The Onion to write its headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Trying to close the Straight of Hormuz would be suicidal. The only thing Iran is going to do is guarantee that every Persian who looks like they might have a weapon within 50 miles of the coast will get a bomb dropped on their heads.

Oblambam will build a consensus of 'civilized' nations to empanel a blue ribbon commission - yes a bona fide blue ribbon commission - to decide about possibly writing a report weighing various options in order to finalize what options a second, even bluer ribbon, commission will convene to write recommendations on.

....lybob Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Iran To Close Strait of Hormuz? yeah if they are attacked maybe, they are not going to randomly Close the Strait of Hormuz, So no one has to worry about it unless Netanyahu or Obama just wants to throw the world into Chaos, it would be a lose, lose, lose, lose, lose outcome,Iran could probably only close the Strait for a 3-4 days but that would be enough to raise prices for awhile and no one benefits from $200 barrel of oil unless you have filled oil tankers parked in the ocean or maybe for Venezuela.
