“DUBAI, April 9 (Reuters) - The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s navy said on Tuesday Israel’s presence in the United Arab Emirates was viewed as a threat by Tehran and it could close the Strait of Hormuz if deemed necessary.
“We can close the Hormuz Strait but are not doing so. However, if the enemy comes to disrupt us, we will review our policy,” Tangsiri said.“

It would be a brilliant move by Iran. Close the Straight, kill nobody. Does the U.S. attack Iran over that? I say no. That puts a stake in the heart of Japan’s and Korea’s economies. Putin supplies China with oil, Putin gets huge profits on $250/barrel oil. As proven by the Houthis, the USN sits by helplessly as the Western World goes into depression.
Do you remember 1973?

“We can close the Hormuz Strait”

If that happens better fill up your gas tank now. $5 dollar gasoline will be like a deal.

The Gulf of Oman is near the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all globally traded oil passes. Fujairah, on the United Arab Emirates’ eastern coast, is a main port in the region for ships to take on new oil cargo, pick up supplies or trade out crew.

Good thing Biden refilled the US Strategic Oil Reserve.
