Tehran may block up over 30 per cent of oil deliveries!

Hey! Economic experts in the world are correctly reasoning that current oil price of some $40 per barrel – it ain’t for long. It is Iran that may cause oil prices go up as it may blockade delivery of over 30 per cent oil from the Middle East by blocking Strait of Hormuz with Iranian crude oil tankers – Tehran has quite enough of them.

In case it is done so, even the USA won’t be able to react as new US president Barack Obama won’t be able to make hard political decisions in point of Tehran in the near future. I bet that Iran is pretty conscious of this advantage and will surely use such opportunity to make profit of it in political sense.

No one knows when exactly it may happen. But it is now that all oil consumers should make provision for the future, not to wait when oil prices start to go up once again. A most reasonable way out is to make vast oil reserves buying up as much oil as possible! The more cheap oil is bought now, the more is saved when oil rises in price!
 
Boy, what a bloody burden Iran is!
A rogue state that threatens the very fabric of the western world, with there nucleur progression and now this among other things....
We should supply the Israeli's the resources to take Tehran.

Free passage of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is a vital U.S. interest. No President, Democrat or Republican, would ignore such an action so long as that vital interest exists. The decision to prevent or remove a blockade would not be a "hard" one as Democrats and Republicans would be united in eliminating a threat to the wellbeing of the U.S., not to mention the world's other states.

It has been along time since I looked but if I remember right the US is fairly low on the dependency list on Persian Gulf oil. I mean this in a manner of relatively speaking in the sense that Europe and Asia are more dependant on it than we are. We have quite a bit of our own oil plus we trade with Mexico and South America. There is a big push here to open areas that have been of limits to drilling. Our problem would be increased cost in refining because the Persian Gulf oil is a very high grade and easy to refine.

Perhaps Obama may not get as excited about it as some people think and let Europe or other countries take the lead with the US in a supportive role for a change.

Enrick hasnt provided any links or evidence of what he is saying. Its probably just propaganda.
 
Pointless Obama smearing aside, did Enrick forget that the U.S. isn't the only nation in the world with a Navy? Russia probably wouldn't intervene because they want higher oil prices, but there are plenty of other countries who would. This is probably crackpot nonsense anyways, as I doubt even the Iranian government is stupid enough to try and pull this off.

Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force. -- President Jimmy Carter

I'll stick my neck out and say I agree on this one.

And you dont think prices would go up pretty quickly as a result of such actions?
