#1 Iran is repor mulling more major cutbacks in its international oil exports in response to the SWIFT action.

IIRC SWEDEN = has formally determined that the proposed TAPI Pipeline is not only too costly but also NOT VIABLE. I may be wrong but I believe I read that China has already backed out of financing same for simil reasons???

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN WILL CLOSE HORMUZ OVER SANCTIONS |[Russia Today] "S-W-I-F-T" REACTION: IRAN "WILL RETALIATE" BY CLOSING HORMUZ STRAIT.

* TOPIX > IRAN WARNS WEST NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE HORMUZ CLOSURE THREAT.

Iran says it will indeed close the Hormuz, as pertinent.

IIUC, Iran just gave the "the Finger/Bird" to the US [again] as per the latter's warning for Iran not to cross "red lines" in the Gulf.
