Ok, so if they do that to the Bosphorus,what if the Russian ally of Iran then closes the Strait of Hormuz? By any measure if Turkey can do it, why can`t Iran? And if the Russians back them up with naval and air power?

These people need to back off, Ukraine IS NOT worth WWIII!

Russia has invaded a neighbor with a fifth column of soldiers with no insignia. Planted landmines, naval blockaded, etc., etc. Then annexed their neighbor. All war crimes there.

Get back to me when Iran invades Iraq and does that.

Hormuz is not Iran’s sovereign territory. Istanbul sits on both sides of the Bosporus. At least Turkey has some nads as compared to our community organizer-in-chief.

Thank you so so so much. I am of course in complete agreement.

Much ado about nothing. Pulleeze.

Hormuz? Not a real issue there. If Hormuz gets closed so does the north/south Iranian railroad which feeds the back/inland half of Russia. I got money that says Pootin ain’t the slightest bit interested in seeing Hormuz messed with. Remember during WW II when we helped the Iranians re-develop their rail lines so that we could ship aluminum and Studebaker trucks to Russia inside the Urals. Also remember how much trouble the Russians have remembering how much stuff we gave them?
