How about some gun-porn to offend the Muzzies?

Iran, which has been carrying out war games in the Strait of Hormuz over the past week, has said that "not a drop of oil" would pass through the strait if Western governments follow through with planned additional sanctions over its nuclear program.

Outstanding.

Fun facts!

Oil exports provide half of Irans’s government revenue.

Iran’s best customer is China, which took about 22 percent of Tehran’s oil exports during the first half of this year and is a member of the United Nations Security Council and one of the few nations on friendly terms with the Islamic Republic.

Turkey, a NATO member that shares both a border and antipathy toward Kurdish separatist groups with Iran, got 51 percent of its imported crude oil from the Islamic Republic from January to June of this year.

While closing the Strait of Hormuz, even briefly, would hurt Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other Gulf oil exporters, the Saudis also ship oil via the Red Sea.

All of Iran’s exports and many of its imports of gasoline, food and consumer goods are shipped through the strait.

Atta boy Ahmadinejad! Shut that sucker DOWN!

LOL!

It’s a good move for Iran. The price of a barrel of oil is going up because of it. They make more money.

[Tupelo]

Do you suppose that some Admiral out there in the Arabian Sea might just want to test out the anti-missle shield? This could be a good time. Then listen to the Iranians complain.

[himno hero]

Its a great move! Price of oil rises while participants in the revenue falls.
A residual bonus! err, a bonus to the residuals!

OK, $150.00 bbl x 0 = $0.0

>>> All <<< of Iran’s exports and many of its imports of gasoline, food and consumer goods are shipped through the strait.

No money, no food, no gas, no TP = very pizzed off population.

Not good for Mr. dinner jacket...

They are just talking trash. They can’t stop the flow of oil and they know it.

[Sacajaweau]

How I wished we had an American President instead of a born and raised muslim president.

Absolutely. If they tried and failed (likely) the rest of the muzzies would laugh them out of OPEC. Perhaps even kick them out.

If they tried and did get the Strait of Hormuz closed they would be in such bad shape within a month we could tell them to hand over the spy drone and they would do it.

Hell, we could tell them to FedEx it back over-night express and they would foot the bill.

Iran has test-fired a medium-range missile during military exercises in the Gulf, state media report, amid rising tensions over its nuclear programme.

While I'm surprised I'm surprised by this move, I fear that Iran is not. Obama is probably wearing a striped go glove to golf today.
