Gulf Ministers Float Talks on Countering a Blockade
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...473723368.html CAIRO—Persian Gulf oil ministers are floating the idea of discussing on Sunday alternative oil routes available for mitigating the impact of any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, senior Gulf oil officials said on Saturday. plus i dont think they can block it for that long because it would be a top priority to remove any type of blockade the best scenario they can hope for is to slow it all down |

Iran holds military naval drills around key shipping Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden
Iran plans to launch 10 days of naval drills from Saturday around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the aim of the drills is to demonstrate the country's military strength and defence ability. Iran has billed the drill as "Velayat-90" and plans to cover an area as large as 2,000 square kilometres - the largest scale of such an exercise to date for the nation. Admiral Habibollah Sayari, Navy Commander, said, "Our naval drill will begin from December 24 and last 10 days - covering the east of the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman to the Gulf of Aden." |

Iranians are not stupid. For as long as it's only up to them, nothing is going to happen.
They will not attack anyone. They are waiting to be attacked by the United States of IsraHell and then all hell will break loose as they will have to defend themselves. |

Also Iran would stop supplying oil to the Europe. they are the 3rd largest exporters in the world with 10% of world oil reserves. They have a mighty military with 70 million people in the country. This war will be nothing like iraq and they couldn't even win that war. They also have China and Russia backing them. |

dont get me wrong i am not saying iran is some backward military power i just dont think they can hold it for any length of time with ports been bombed and 26 submarines wont do the job for long either the question is not if they can blockade it or not the question is how long can they blockade it for i think a short time EDIT: ofc if russia china enter the game then it becomes a totally different ball game Last edited by joho; 25-12-2011 at 11:11 AM. |

has a chance of winning or threatening their countries, so imo Iran wont be attacked because it is too strong and it could unleash severe terrorist attacks on any nato countries. This show boating by the various world powers is a smoke screen to keep people from looking too hard at other places/geopolitical events occurring in the world. I would say in the war for oil that there are weaker targets that could be overthrown - one of those being Saudi Arabia which would be cheaper to invade. That is what I would do - shift a couple or three battalions into Saudi Arabia on the pretence of being a peace keeping force then create a false flag there or support a coup using your soldiers as back up, bing bong bang you own the largest oil producer in opec, oil stays at $100 barrel (or, as I bet richard Branson hopes, the price drops) and the U.S.A all get to keep driving to the mall,consuming big macs from styrophone containers using baby seal eyes for head lights. Iran, Russia, China, USA, U.K are all happy and not a drop of blood (well not from anyone that they think counts anyway) is spilt. They did this same thing in Libya with very effective results just this year only one year after Tony Blair was photographed shaking Gadafi's hand.

No I'm not prepared to pay $250, nor do I intend to. And I hope enough folks will wake up in time to realize that we have choice:
There are enough alternatives to oil available today. First and foremost there is hemp. We can process its oil and fibre very efficiently. Don't wonder why it is forbidden.

With about zero flex in the 8000 mile just in time delivery system , the shutdown would be a crisis in a matter of hours. Workers would be savaged to the bone being fired and having no savings as drastic cost cutting measures were enacted. In some places if people stocked up the supply chain could never catch up even if oil went right back down to 100 a barrel in a 2 weeks maybe less. |
