US threatens Iran if it blocks oil route...

:sl:

Ah looks like they want the oil don't they? Iran should block it straight away...they have made enough sanctions...

The US Navy has said it will not tolerate disruption to a vital oil-trade route, following an Iranian threat to close it.Iran warned it would shut the Strait of Hormuz if the West imposed more sanctions over its nuclear programme.
The US and its allies believe Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon - a charge Tehran denies.
Reacting to Iran's warning, a US Fifth Fleet spokeswoman said it was "always ready to counter malevolent actions".
The Strait of Hormuz links the Gulf - and the oil-producing states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - to the Indian Ocean. About 40% of the world's tanker-borne oil passes through it.

It seems it is now the turn of western oil giants to profit immensely from current situation.

The oil price has shot up above USD100 per barrel.

Who says war and tension doesn't bring wealth and profit?

Just got to laugh at the empty threats. Iran will destroy these Zionist war mongering criminals if they're ever attacked

It could also be that the US is manipulating Iran in such way so tension is created by Iran's reaction, which in turn propel the oil prices.

so who's stupid now?

By the way, the oil sheikhs are merrily tagging along for the plan as it can only further fatten their thick wallets for those important year end sales in London and Paris.

Iran maybe power and will retaliate meaning loads of soldiers will die, but if 10 countries come after you, you don't have a big chance...

By now, one would think that Arab countries (and middle east countries in general) are just too smart and do not get too easily provoked.
In 1948 and 1967 Israel provoked arab countries to attack it, only to get defeated and lands stolen.
Iraq also fell under the same manipulation to attack Iran and then Kuwait, only to get itself torn, ruined, and became US permanent foothold in the middle east.
