Extremely MISLEADINF TITLE ‘US holds Navy exercise after Iran comments on Gulf’. It would appear that the Navy is preparing to defend itself, WHEREAS IN FACT, our military have been trying to provoke Iran for months and months. WE ARE IN THEIR TERRITORIAL WATERS ! We have threatened them.

If Iran is attacked they might sink some oil tankers with some missiles. This would not close the Strait but make it very dangerous. The U.S. Navy could not protect every tanker from every missile.

This would cause oil prices to crush the U.S. economy. Many people would lose their jobs. Ordinary Americans would suffer the most, again! And all of this for what? Who benefits? Exxon/Mobil, Israel, and the military/industrial complex.

Is the life of your son or daughter worth this much?

When has Iran EVER said they would block the Strait of Hormuz unprovoked?

So, the US comment “vowing that Iran will not be allowed to block the waterway” only is relevant if the US plans on starting an illegal and unprovoked war against Iran. However, given their track record, it is very possible.

The US can not expect to be able to threaten a nation for several years and NOT have that nation say they will defend themselves.
