Will we stop them before 200 miles out...or will we opt for a “target rich environment”?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Blow them out of the water.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Run silent.
Run deep...

[BlueLancer]

All of those mines from World War II are still out there somewhere ...

... it'd be a shame if they found some of them ...

[Bell Bouy II]

Makes sense,then we can spend a gazillion bucks to clean up the petroleum mess on and in the waters

[Flavious_Maximus]

Isn’t there a way to make those tankers rudderless?

We don’t need to sink them, just blow out the engines to prevent them from navigating.

[ronnie raygun]

They are loaded with military supplys

[Bell Bouy II]

Left out,

Run Stupid

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gasoline will burn up.
Not like crude.

[CJ Wolf]

I think we will seize them and then give Iran a taste of their medicine.

[Artemis Webb]

Let them pass.
This is a no win situation. Iran is taking far more harm from sanctions.

[Bell Bouy II]

If intel determines hold is all petrol

Either way an avoidable mess

[Kudsman]

gasoline-starved Venezuela

In an oil rich resource nation btw. Ain’t socialism grand?

[Senormechanico]

Or simply evaporate. Might cause smog for a day or so in the vicinity.

[McGruff]

I don’t see any reports of any US military vessels in the area.

In Vietnam they used to run monofilament fishing nets to stop our navigation. I would like to think that we have a much more efficient means available now at our disposal.

[sockmonkey]

Sorry, neocons. I am unabashedly with Iran and Venezuela on this. Quit with Regime Change/Empire building.

Comrade, you cannot be serious in claiming a gasoline shortage in an oil-rich country to be a failure of socialism. Everyone knows that this is due to the evil capitalists deliberately wrecking the Venezuelan economy. Not maintaining refineries, technical workers not teaching their socialist comrades how to operate oil facilities, all of this in spite of the heroic efforts of Bolivarian cadres to maintain oil production. /s

That, and probably other nasties. The oil/gas is a ruse.
