Iran army declines comment on MP's Hormuz exercise remarks
A member of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee said on Monday that the military was set to practice its ability to close the Gulf to shipping at the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil transit channel in the world, but there was no official confirmation.
The legislator, Parviz Sarvari, told the student news agency ISNA: "Soon we will hold a military maneuver on how to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure."
A bit more:
Iran's energy minister told Al Jazeera television last month that Tehran could use oil as a political tool in the event of any future conflict over its nuclear program.
And a bit more:
Iran has warned it will respond to any attack by hitting Israel and U.S. interests in the Gulf and analysts say one way to retaliate would be to close the Strait of Hormuz.
This plays right into the hands of Obama's refusal to develop our own resources.
Much as I hate to say this, I see a world war looming on the horizon and our military is being gutted from the inside. China is not our friend and these children of pigs in the middle-east want nothing more than a global caliphate.
