The Straits won’t be blocked by warships, but by steaming hulks of melted metal that used to be Iranian warships.

“We are capable of blockading the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and whoever does not believe this should ... see what happens in reality,” Navy Commander Admiral Habibollah Sayari told IRNA news agency.

Too bad we don’t have a leader with a set of brass ones, else their response would have been:
“So, we are capable of turning your country into a glass parking lot, if you don’t believe me continue in your ways and you will see a dose of reality”

I can dream can’t I?

Bring it on Iran. I always wanted to be able to say; “Looks like we have another War, A Gut Busting, Mother Loving, Navy War.”

All they can produce is speedboats that harass our ship and kidnap British sailors.

The situation is bound to get "interesting". Iran is busy picking up allies who, for the most part, are more interested in power and ideology than economy. Chavez repeatedly moves to intentionally damage his own economy in pursuit of the Marxist ideal. North Korea, Burma, Various African nations, and even Brazil and Argentina may just hate the West enough to go along. Russia would benefit as would China's military (The Chinese economy would however tank so you can't automatically assume China's compliance).

I don't believe O would do anything but blather and dither. He would condemn and obstruct any Israeli response. (note: I really think the troop surge in Afghanistan is nothing more than a negotiating ploy.)

OK, I likely need the help of mental health professional, but that is how I see it.
