No doubt. It is what all aggression is about these days: oil, dollars and who has the biggest dick.Somebody doesn't want other major world producers using the Kish bourse which will accept any currency except US Dollars.

Nice propaganada piece that either contains a lie or mistake in fact collecting because if you want to float tankers in and out of the Gulf you have to go through Iranian waters. Any ship that decides to make a run for it is fair game to be shot at.
And it's all in Iranian waters where it's deep enough to sail a full supertanker. Pop one of those open with a cruise missle can opener and the straits are closed until it all burns off. A couple at once would really work wonders.
Iran has some fancy schmancy anti-missle missles from the Ruskies that are better than the Patriot. And this really made me chuckle. Iran Claims It Hacked Into U.S. Drone And Forced It To LandDouble hulled tankers- The crude absorbs a large part of the blast - difficult to ignite as well.
And in the meantime, Iranians would use inlets etc, mobile missile crews – fast attack boats- - The US would have at least 3 to 5 carrier groups in the area – Out of Iranian range – The Iranian boats – missile crews would be working under complete US air superiority - their naval and what air assets they have would be toast - their pipelines - refineries - Ports - well they would be toast as well.
The old US Military axiom – If you can see it – you can hit it – if you can hit it – you can kill it –
It would all be over in 2-4 weeks.
Then no cash coming in – Guess what – Regime change.
Yeah right! It'll be a cakewalk like A-Stan and Iraq?

This isn't going to be against just Iran and where the hell is the money going to come from? Can't borrow from China or Japan for this one.It will be quick and unlike Astan or Iraq - They ain't staying.

Turkey just off more Kurds the other day.The same place that Turkey will get it when they roll into Syria to protect the people.

Either side can close the Persian Gulf and interfere with regional trade and commerce.It is not as difficult as you think - couple of weeks perhaps 4 at the most. Add in the US allies that depend upon Hormuz. Did you consider that. No.

You're really turning into a mission analyst specialist. lol Does that also consider that the recent war games Iran held was letting loose with the óld stock and making room for the new?Easy to close - But how long can they close it is the critical question
Check the last time that Iran tried to close the strait - It is in an earlier link I believe.
2-4 weeks - Yes some damage would occur to the UAE – Qatar, Saudi etc pipelines - that is a given.
Iranian capacity to pump, refine, and export oil would be destroyed. It would take many years to rebuild – and where are they going to buy the equipment- the parts – Yes Russian and China would be in -
Each of these countries (Not including Iran) have high value targets – refineries for one that would have substantial protection. Anti Missile batteries etc.
Massive launches of Iranian missiles could occur and a percentage would hit their targets – Most would not
The Iranians still have problems with their guidance systems for missiles. Would some hit the targets – Yes –
Cruise missiles are slow movers and can also be targeted by aircraft –
Their Naval assets – mainly fast attack boats would be sitting ducks for Allied air power – as I mentioned – See it – Hit it – Kill it. And the US and others would have planes in the air – 7 -24
The Iranian Air assets are a joke.
And in the end – Iran’s ability to generate revenues would be destroyed. I would imagine the average Iranian would be somewhat pissed with the Thugs at the top.
Civil unrest would result – Civil War would be high on the list. And you can bet the Saudi’s, UAE, Qatar etc would be helping.
Your link says, "Salami made the remarks in response to the warning issued by the U.S. Fifth Fleet on December 28, in which it said that it would not allow any disruption of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. “Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated,” the Bahrain-based fleet said in an e-mail, according to Reuters.“In the event that Iran’s vital interests are threatened in any way, we will use threat against threat and will not stop implementing our strategies,” he added.
I think gopher went under ground. Gun shots make them a tad skittish.
