This goes to show that the unilateral sanctions against Iran have turned out to be ineffective, or atleast not as effective as the Zionists & American warhawks would have liked. With the recent failed summit in Hanoi, it's become painfully obvious to the world that Donald Trump's hard line goals of completely denuclearizing & deweaponizing Iran & North Korea are nothing but mere fantasies, completely unrealistic in real world diplomacy.
Perhaps Mileikowsky (Netanyahu's real name) is doing this because of the upcoming corruption indictments against him. Perhaps he feels as if his back is up against a wall & with nothing to lose he wants to start a war in order to avoid the indictments ? I'm not quite sure what he's thinking but one thing is for sure. Iran will not tolerate these sort of antics and gangsterism & any attempt to seize an Iranian oil tankers by any nation will lead to a full scale response by the Iranian military. Possible responses can include missile strikes on Israeli targets like Tel Aviv & Haifa, blocking the straight of Hormuz & a full scale war with Israel & its allies, including the US, which would entail missile strikes on US bases in the region & the sinking of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf.
Honestly I think that at the end of the day Mileikowsky is just bluffing, however what I mentioned above is the worst possible case scenario.

Following articles are about a rather unusually Israeli threat that I've yet to come to a conclusion about, maybe you guys could chime in. Very bizarre statement coming from a nation with a rather small Navy...Suspicious to say the least.
Israeli Navy ready to block Iranian oil exports in transit – Netanyahu

A few thoughts about what this could be about. One possible angle to this development would just be the tried and true jingoism that is in abundance within the Middle East; If that is the case then there isn't much to be worried about since it does come at a time where Netanyahu has found himself embroiled in legal troubles whilst vying for another term as PM of Israel.
Two, this could be a genuine effort from Israel to create a broader coalition of willing states that could try and impose a blockade on Iranian oil tankers (dubious at best if we're being honest). Iran is no slouch when it comes to naval warfare and has the means to do some serious damage if pushed to that point.
Three, this could be another overt threat to Iranian warning about an ever increasing hostile intent to engage in a wider-war against Iranian interests and more importantly Iranian economy. If one were to take this line of logic then we can assume that Israel is feeling much more emboldened than previously thought. It should to stand to say that if Israel does take action against Iran in a brazenly open manner (stopping/attacking Iranian oil tankers). Then Israel has gotten tacit backing from multiple states (US,SA,UAE, etc...). Hopefully (most likely) Iranian military brass has fully ascertained what is going on and will act accordingly.
What I find interesting is that Israel is boasting about an aspect of their military that is really not special, like at all. Apart from the German supplied Dolphin submarines (of which they don't have many of) most likely equipped with nuclear tipped cruise missiles. The Israeli Navy is small and completely inadequate to take on this sort of job let alone make such a threat. So that leaves me believing that the first scenario is more likely to be the case.
Being completely sincere here to the Iranian and everyone else in the forum. We have to be legit with ourselves and call a spade a spade. Israel is changing its rhetoric to one that mirrors true-war time footing. They are making rather grandiose claims of confronting Iran on the high-seas (this shouldn't be taken lightly). US has deployed the THAAD to Israel, Israel has recently conducted large-scale military exercises, Israels rhetoric has become WAY more hostile and I personally believe they want to drastically expand their bombing campaign in Syria with possible expansion into Iraq or Lebanon depending on the goals they want to achieve.
I guess what I'm saying is that the Iran-Israeli conflict should be talked about more and discussed more. It isn't the same as it was before or maybe I'm the one is projecting here lol.
What are you guys thoughts on this? Am I over reacting (most likely)?
