Tehran Threatens Saudi Arabia; Khamenei: Iran Will Answer Saudi Arabia 'A Blow With A Blow'
2015-02-11
[MEMRI] "We have a long border on the Persian Gulf waters, and we have approval to act assertively on this level as far as global public opinion and international law are concerned. This is because several countries have declared, and agreed, to sell oil to Iraq. Iraq is a country that is in a state of war against us, and as the whole world agrees, we can examine commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz in order to see whether it is carrying something for Iraq or not, and as everyone will agree, if one day we decided [to do this], we will confiscate the oil sold to Iraq, or oversee [oil] sales. Therefore, as you notice, these countries that are now talking about failure to coordinate with OPEC are also vulnerable... We want to recommend again to these countries to cooperate with OPEC, and to stress that they must give priority to doing so, because this will be for their own good and for OPEC's good."[3]

#9  As per #7,

* IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, TOPIX > SAUDI ARABIA AND PAKISTAN MAY HAD JUST RENEWED A COVERT NUCLEAR ARMS PACT!?

Whereby Pakistan is able to overtly or covertly, immediately or in the near-term, transfer Pak NucWeapons to the KSA iff the latter is ever militarily threatened or the Regime is in danger of being overthrown???

#8  Again, the risk or scenario is there that any Sunni-led Yemeni Govt. or Govt-in-exile may ask the ISIS/ISIL andor the Qaeda Boyz [Al-Nusra] to militarily intervene - this will set up a likely military confrontation between the Bammer = USA, + the US' new BFF or Best Frenemy Forevar! in the ME, Persian Gulf Rising Iran = aka Soon-to-be-Nukulaar-wid-US/Western-consent Nuclear Iran.

Put another way, POSSIBLE MAJOR CONFRONTATION, WAR BETWEEN THE FUTURE OWG NAU + FUTURE OWG PERSIAN GULF, ME UNION(S)???

To argue that the above would be a major "litmus test" of Globalist Obama's Anti-US US Foreign Policy + Islam-vs-Non-Islam international relations would be an understatement.

#7  AlanC - Saudi has a least 1 brigade of Pakistani nuke troops and Chinese IRBMs with the brigade. One suspects it's not Spam on the rockets.
