and up above the drones are tracking these little vulnerable armed boats ready to knock them out one by one should they interfere with shipping. hope they come cheap and fast with new crews as will have to be replaced often.
nice military parades as well. but can they fight? nice missiles. but can they stop destruction of Teheran?
regime leaders are desperate to hold on to power. time for clear thinking.
2. So close it
Rami ,   Helsinki   (08.27.18)
Put up or shut up. It will not just be USA nuking you after you close it.
3. The more Iran received. Their violence grew exponentially
Eden   (08.27.18)
Amazing. The Iranians were given an aero plane of cash. Sanctions lifted. Instead. Their arrogance grew and they interpreted that violence and the threat of violence gets them more.
4. Iran: can say, claim anything it wants; reality is different
Rafi ,   US   (08.27.18)
5. Iranian unrealistic bragiodoso
Patriot ,   USA   (08.27.18)
Putting the fox in charge of the hen house- Iranian machismo has not bounds - very concerned that it will lead to confrontation eventually.
6. the ayatollahs should think before they shoot

The Iranians should not get overconfident because if they block the Striats of Hormuz or the Gulf or even if they just threaten ships then that will be considered an act of war and they will probably face a combined naval fleet of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel and maybe even the US.
If they threaten the Americans then they will be signing a suicide note because Trump doesn't do the Obama way of trying to find peaceful diplomatic solutions and if the Iranians threaten a single American ship civilian or military it will be goodbye Iran.
7. It would be the last thing they do
Avi L.   (08.27.18)
Once done, they would have lost the only thing that keeps them standing.

The world would recover, they wouldn't
8. What does 'control' mean?
Tim ,   Brighton   (08.27.18)
RG have repeatedly stated that the Persian Gulf/Hormuz are in Iranian Waters (as are Qatar and Bahrein) and as such they have the right to impose tariffs on all shipping leaving and entering the Gulf

It is envisaged that they will begin to record and bill every passing ship to be settled accordingly or else forfeit the 'right' to use the passageway next time around.

RG thinking is evidently based on the assumption that it would take just one foreign ship to be attacked for the world to capitulate in a frenzy to accede to their demands.







9. Iran has full control of Hormuz until US blows them away

Does
"Death to America'
and
"Death to Israel" ring a bell?

All's fair in love and war and this IS war.
The military is obliged to take orders from the POTUS. That's their job.
If Trump did nuke Iran he'd probably win a Noble Peace Prize.
