Iran threatens Gulf tanker traffic
Iran will ban passage of oil tankers in the Gulf if its oil exports are sanctioned, said a senior official Saturday. "If a ban is imposed on our oil exports, we will not allow oil tankers to sail in the Gulf waters," Mehr news agency quoted Sulaiman Jaafar Zadeh, member of the national committee for security and foreign policy in the Shura council, as saying. He said with the current circumstances, the western threats over "our nuclear file will not materialize." The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) board of governors had agreed earlier today to refer Iran's nuclear file to the UN Security Council (UNSC).
Nah, it'll never happen. Don't panic boys, Mahmud had it all under control and the infidels are quaking in their boots, they're committing suicide on their aircraft carriers and throwing themselves into the sea, their soldiers are massing at our borders to surrender ....
Zadeh said the US and other Western countries "don't have the ability to take decisions in the Middle East. The Iranian supremecy in the region cannot be denied, and any threat or pressure on Iran will make the west receive a severe hit in Afghanistan and Iraq," he added. He said Iran was cooperating with IAEA to have its rights to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
Iranian supremacy - of course! Why didn't I see that? Someone get on the horn to Rummy and tell him we're outnumbered and should pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. Maybe JF*ckinK and Cindy whasserface could intercede for us ...
