US to Iran: Closing Strait of Hormuz – crossing a red line
The Obama administration is relying on a secret channel of communication to warn Iran that closing the Strait of Hormuz is a “red line” that would provoke an American response, The New York Times quoted US government officials as saying.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday that there are two red lines that Tehran cannot cross: developing nuclear abilities and closing the Straits of Hormuz. (Ynet)
