"A naval blockade of all Iranian shipping is the way to go, but we have to be ready for all the shit that will come raining down with it."
I think just the 'usual suspects' would put up much of a protest. Oil prices would take a hit for awhile but.......
I don't think it would last long. Iran crumbles without their refined oil products that they have to import. I think the mullahs would have to worry more that the West.
I would be happy to pay $4 a gallon for 6 months to crush the Iranian economy.
