Tehran says it can destabilize global energy security — and that it’s a direct consequence of the Zionist regime’s actions.

I can’t imagine it would not be hard to reopen with a few well placed missiles.
your people will be in control of Iran/ Persia very soon... by september i think...
the secular shiite is about to hit the iran.
If they could do that it would have already happened.

Crude oil up 8% today.
I can’t imagine it would not be hard to reopen with a few well placed missiles.
” Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemen could shut the Bab al-Mandeb — both are options currently under consideration.”
I know two groups of people SALIVATING over that idea of $300 plus oil - people who live in Texas and Russia.
Perhaps when Pennsylvanians are paying $10 plus for gas, they’ll consider letting the oil companies frac. Just kidding!!!!
Iran calls it a blockage. Trump calls it target practice.
Apparently two major “chokepoints” of Gulf region oil tanker travel could ruin around 20% of the world’s oil supply in reaching refineries. Guest in interview said a few days ago.
I would like all the countries involved in the oil tanker travel join in slamming Iran with bombs and missiles.
Not just US and Israel.
or a small tactical nuke
But Iran needs to ship out through Hormuz too. In fact a good way to apply pressure on Iran is if *we* block Hormuz to Iranian traffic.
Like how they’re pummeling Tel Aviv?
Exactly. The price would skyrocket for every producer except Iran.
By the way, where are the carriers? None in the Mediterranean or Red Sea. Only the Vinson is nearby, cowering just outside of the Gulf.
And Iran would forfeit their oil production facility on Kark Island. It would literally put them out of business. And the biggest loser would be China.
I am pretty sure China is making phone calls lobbying against Iran doing this.
Anyone suggesting Iran is considering this as an option clearly assumes their audience doesn’t understand the economics of the Middle East and the players involved.
The only long term effect of that policy would be making Iran even more poor.
Odd thing about it all is that locally gas prices are as low as they’ve been in a long time. Despite what’s going on in the Middle East.
Israel could destroy their entire oil supply if they wanted to, didnt they do that in his first term
Look at the words you use. They are hilarious.
Russians cannot navigate the Black Sea, let along project power anywhere.
And you suggest a US carrier group is “cowering.”
Do they train you to use insulting language like that in your Moscow underground call center? Or do you come up with it on your own?
In any case…its amusing as hell.
I for one -cannot- wait for 8 dollar a gallon gasoline!
