WASHINGTON—Two days after a diplomatic deadline has passed for Iran to enter negotiations with the world's great powers and end the reprocessing and enrichment of uranium, the chief of the country's Revolutionary Guard Corps is threatening to close down one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints, the Straits of Hormuz.
Speaking to Iranian reporters after testing a new anti-ship missile, Mohammad Ali Jafari said it could sink "enemy ships" at a range of more than 200 miles, and that shutting down the Straits of Hormuz would be easy.
"Enemies know that we are easily able to block the Straits of Hormuz for unlimited period," Iran's official news service quoted Mr. Jafari as saying.

MadMood Hormuz ping.
My precious daughter will be leaving later this year for the Gulf. Please pray that this little idiot midget is long dead by then.
Well, that will take care of the slide in crude prices.

“Enemies know that we are easily able to block the Straits of Hormuz...”
And we are easily able to turn your country into a glass-covered parking lot.
I say “Bring it on, Mahmood....”
After the first tanker or warship was hit, there’d be brilliant lights all over Iran, producing some of the largest ashtrays the world has ever seen.
BTW, Nancy... This is why we have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve... It's strategic!
Send a delegation of Liberal morons headed by the treasonous Pelosi to beg and cry with the Iranian wackjob. I’m sure Pelosi can fix this mess.
Someone needs to shutdown these saber rattling islamoweenies.
Hey, Imanutjob! It would take 5 minuteman missiles to shut down Iran.
Great time to be depleting the Strategic Reserves, Obama you putz.
I saw your map, and without reading your comment, thought that there could be a canal dug from Hisn Diba to Ra's al Khaymah and be done with it.
Just trying to see if they can get oil back up to $140 or more per barrel.
In that case, Bush might get his war afterall.
Jeeze and Pres. Bush is still gonna go to China instead of pressuring Congress to pass drilling measures?
God Bless your daughter and I hope she is well aware of the support system she has here at FR.
At least we don’t have to beg France for overflight rights in order to pound this dips**t into paste, like back in the ‘80’s.
I mean, if a tunnel can be made from France to England and canals across Panama and Suez and the St. Lawrence Seaway, then this should be a piece of cake!...............
But I'm quite confident the U.S. Navy would swiftly dispatch whatever the mullets threw at them.
