#2 #Iran’s #IRGC navy commander claims the Persian Gulf belongs to Iran, and that Iran has the right to question any vessel that enters the Straits of #Hormuz

#10 Sorry, admiral, but I bought the Persian Gulf from a reputable antiques dealer in the French Quarter several years ago for $25US. But you can have it if you want -- the liability insurance premiums are killing me.

#11 Move Iran's territory back to 50 miles from the Persian gulf line and put their NEW border there.

I wonder why.

#16 Consider this, Obama would have given it to them for free. Clinton would have had their the Clinton Foundation sell it to them.
