Another falsetto "The Straits of Hormuz" are falling article.
If Iran chokes off the Strait of Hormuz, that it tantamount to a declaration of war, and makes the choice of action easier, not harder for the administration in power.
I suppose if we wait long enough, we will again hear all about the Iranian navy, submarines and speedboats that will bring the US Navy to its knees.
Can we say, "The President, and the powers that be are concerned about ANY Iranian intervention by way of cruise missiles aimed at american ships?"
Such bullcrap. We've been talking about this possibility since 1978.
"Hormuz is a major point that goes in and out of the north Arabian Gulf,".
And, I did not even know that points could move - much less swim.
Interesting -- but no mention made of recent additional US Navy units, including another aircraft carrier, being sent into the area.
The other unmentioned piece of this puzzle is also worrysome: what if Iran and Venezuela act in concert to limit the supply of oil entering the world market?
