#4 We would just need to be careful of the 300 or so surface to surface missiles they have covering the strait. That would be the hardest part about keeping the gulf open. |

#3 I would hope that every navy in the world would come to help patrol the straits, if even for their own interests. But we'll prolly have to go it alone as usual. |

#2 These Persian clowns have one oil refinery. I don't understand why we don't send them a message -- any more shiat, and we're going to put Tomahawks in it the next day. Forget their nuke program. Their economy will collapse in a matter of days. |

#1 I kinda hope they do try, because when oil supply is cut the entire world would be screaming for something to be done. |
