US vows to keep Gulf waterway open despite Iran's threats

[Saif al-Arab]

How is the failed Mullah regime going to close the Strait of Hurmuz when half of the strait belongs to Oman and UAE (territorial waters)?

Not to say that the GCC (vastly superior military, economic and diplomatic clout) is just around the corner not to mention the US and all world powers (China too depends on oil and gas imports from the region and they would never allow a disruption to occur either).

Just the usual pathetic fantasy from those deluded Mullah's.

Would not impact KSA either way.



The beautiful Red Sea is a 100 times more important passage for trade. Over 10% of the world's trade (almost all the trade in the world is done through maritime trade) passes through the Red Sea which is the domestic domain and backyard of KSA and Egypt.

BTW the Mullah regime is once again giving us all one of their "greatest hits" (in other words most idiotic statements). A most recent example (that I read at least, properly more gold coins have been thrown since then) that I read a few days ago, was an Mullah official (general even, lol) claiming that the reason for the droughts in Iran were due to "cloud theft" by USrael.

Of course it could still survive. IRI could have good relations with US and even Israel. How come Islamist Erdogan could have good relations with US and Israel but Iran can't? The reality in this world is that even you whore yourself to US and the west, or you whore yourself to the east (Russia, China) At least by whoring yourself to US and the west, you receive something good in return.

BTW. Russia is a christian anti muslim country, they even have better relations with Israel than with Iran. So why can Iran have good relations with Russia but not with US and Israel?

Because The US was the appointed enemy/Rival after the rise in 1979... Not Russia.

may be . but govt should have come clean .

Politicians telling the truth....you are very innocent

The stupid Iranian mullahs deserve all the hell that comes their way. They are the source of many problems in the region.

The only way out for Iran is a nuclear test. Otherwise their days are numbered. Of course they can block the Strait of Hormouz, it won't take much to do it. It will send shockwaves throughout the world economies and might even cause a world war. It may also cause all the rich sheikhs to climb on their yachts and sail away towards Monaco. But then Iran would face a massive retaliation from the United States, and no country will help Iran. I hope Pakistan stays out of this either way.

Of all the countries that were listed for regime change by the neo-cons, most have met 'liberation and democracy'. Iran is next in line for sure.

From what I see, the only move that will guarantee Iranian govt.'s safety is a nuclear test.

Met Liberation and democracy.....nice touch

Couple of missiles hitting Dubai shopping area will have an exodus of foreigners and that will be the end...the fat ladies who lunch will have to find the kitchen. The gulf regimes are made of plastic a little heat and they will melt

It’s impossible for any country to invade Iran. Iran is too strong and unified of a nation to take lightly. Ask Iraqis what a horrible experience they had when they tried to invade Iran. All this threatening Iran is just for show.

The real threat to Iran is against its’ economy. US, Israel, KSA will do everything to destroy Iran’s economy. You will see Iran’s so-called allies ditching Iran very soon from Western pressure, especially India, Armenia, Lebanon, etc.

Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar need to stand completely with Iran. A new block needs to be created. We can’t tolerate foreign interference in our region.

I, for one, believe this is a golden opportunity for Pakistan and like-minded nations to build a unified front with Iran.

Yes Iran has friends who are willing to fire at USN and its allies in the region.

Whether they like it or not sanctions are coming for them and that red neck in US will not back away......
We've been hearing Iranians threat on this and sinking USN for a very long time and every time they issue a threat USN sails its ships and Carriers through Hormuz but no action from Mullah's side !!!

Why ????

 

[LeGenD]

abbotabad was a violation of pakistani airspace , was it done with pakistani permission ?

Yes, it was a violation of Pakistani airspace - brilliantly planned and executed. However, many Pakistani are in disbelief about it because they are led to believe that our defenses are impregnable since childhood. Conversely, our military establishment is guilty of keeping public in the dark about sensitive matters. There is no shame in admitting inferiority to a force. Pakistani defenses are good enough for regional threats, and this is what the public expects at most. However, if the 'wardi waley' assume that every civilian is naive, then they need to change their mindset.

I studied this event in detail and pieced together important bits to offer an explanation of how they undermind our defenses that night - in a thread or two. However, I normally direct people to study Abbottabad Commission Report - product of a thorough investigation.

Name Iran's friends who will take on the US navy

 

[Shapur Zol Aktaf]

For the Same reason Iran pumped Billions and Billions into ASSad... Or into Iraqi groups... Houthis and so on...

As for Why not Iranians First? Well...Why would they? It's not like Iranians will do something about it... The moment one of you guys is out asking for a better life...Whatever Before Rouhani or now... He/She doesn't know, if she will make it home alive...

Till you guys choose to elect someone Who isn't corrupt and throw those ELite morons into the Persian Gulf... Iranian's life will matter nothing and nothing will change...
As for those Elites... that goes for "ALL" of them to IRGC to Rouhani and the List goes on...

Not possible, Guardian counsil only allows islamist candidates for fake "elecions" (selection is a better term)

Till then... Millions would Suffer...



They don't need Hezb Militia...I think the Iranian gov has what it needs to do the job.

Depends, the greedy islamist who attacks demonstrators also saw his rials decline 50% in just 6 months. So he, as a mercenary will see that his salary is not worth it anymore. And mercenaries always follow direction of wind...

 

[raptor22]

Our current government officials are all traitors. Rouhani, Zarif, Larijani and co should be hanged for treason and all their children should be banned from entering Iran. Take away their wealth and give it to the poor.

Btw, I dont think 35b$ is accurate, I have heard from a family member of a very highly ranked Hezbollah commander that Hezbollah receives 800 million dollars every month from Iran. This is money for not only weapons but also to fund schools, hospitals, medication, food etc for the Lebanese. Interestingly, he was sickened by and couldn't understand why Iran helps them but doesn't help its own poor.

What is the connection btw poor people in Iran and helping Iraq, Syria and Lebanon?

Safety is for the stubborn islamist to stop palestine-liberation-theatre (to steal Iranian money), shake hands with Israel and USA, write new constitution and allow free election, independent judiciary, free press.

But it's difficult for a beggar cleric who was poor and powerless before 1979 to leave the treasures (oil, gas. tax, minerals).

Dude, That was a Sarcasm

Iranian money is not for the "Poor" of those countries...But to fill the Pockets of "Few"...
Hezbollah is not poor... Assad isn't neither Houthis and neither Those Iraqi groups... Quite the Opposite tbh... They live better than a large majority of Iranians themselves... and those "people" don't even show gratitude for that...

Let's hope, that when the moment come..They will choose other options instead of pulling the Trigger on Thousands and Thousands of ppl.
