The New York Times: Reports that Iran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, the oil lifeline for the West should the West block Iran selling its oil. The US and the West has one aim folks, to prevent Israel taking military action to prevent Iran going nuclear. The Obama Administration has to show to Israel that it is taking this issue seriously and will impose sanctions on Tehran that will bring Iran to its knees. The US would take military action should Iran block the Strait, Obama can not afford in an election year for the price at the oil stations to hit the roof. It can be argued that Tehran wants to impose itself in the 2012 election, if it can draw Obama in to a crisis, and show him as weak, this will help the Tehran Regime with its people, build up support for the Regime, interesting year ahead folks.
