Sounds like a job for the SEALS.
Sneak in one fine night and take ALL of the Iranians "out."
Romanians back in the following morning.

BBC morning headlines:

BUCHAREST, Romania
Iranians leave oil platform peacefully, thanks to the efforts of French president Jacques Chirac and U.N. president Koffee Anan.

Harhar. Oh well, I think it's funny, if no one else does.

Sheesh, you had me there for a brief moment with that BBC reference...then I saw the fine print.

Oh well, and yet another lost opportunity for the French to serve as statesmen. :)

"Sounds like a job for the SEALS"

This was, in fact, part of a plot line in one of Dick Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" series of books. Marcinko was the first Commanding Officer of Seal Team Two and Six if I correctly recall.

Yes. I seem to remember Operation Praying Mantis did well in 1988
