Oil-rich Kuwait is drawing up plans to ensure it meets its oil exports if neighbouring Iran closes a sea route that is critical to Gulf oil producers, a senior Kuwaiti official said on Monday. Saad al-Shuwaib, chief executive of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, the state oil company, told the Kuwait news agency that “precautionary plans” to export Kuwaiti crude if the Strait of Hormuz was closed were in place, but not yet finalised. On Saturday, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard was quoted as saying that if Iran was attacked it would impose controls on the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway that connects the Gulf with the Indian Ocean and through which more than a third of the world’s exported oil passes.

Why do you say that they are foreigners?

I know one family of an Ayatollah from Meshad.  They are definately Iranian. Even Ahmadinajad was born in Iran.  He looks Iranian...

The Islamic religion spread into Iran long ago.  If some of the descendents of Mohamed are in Iran, they have intermarried with Iranians for one thousand years.  Surely, they are Iranian now.

 No, the clerics running the theocracy of Iran are Iranians.  They have the right to be in Iran.  They don't have the right to hold on to power without allowing the great people of Iran to vote in free elections.  They don't have the right to execute or imprison their political enemies.  The people should decide who leads them.  There shouldn't be a need for a war...or a revolution.  The leaders must change their minds.  I hope that they are paying attention to the world and the Iranian people.  I will never understand how men of God can do the things that they do.

Enemy is within

I agree with you and add to your comment that the true enemy is Foreigners in cloak of clerics who have decided to desimate Iran ... they have been doing a good job of it, first simply by eradicating the culture, replacing it with culture of desert people of Arabia and then destruction of natural resources (forests, rivers and farm lands) and then the heritage such as Korosh's resting place and historical sites that are now under water.

Regardless, Iranian people who do live in Iran and are the ones who are directly affected by these vicious clerics just take it and have lost care for their motherland which I believe is another side effect of occupation of Iran by foreigners.

The gulf Arabs are loving every minute of it

The gulf Arab as well as the Arab neighbor Kuwait can't wait the destruction of Iran and their arch enemy the Persian people.

They supported the Iraqis during the 80's and they will do it again and I am 100% sure the will finance it.

remember to those Iranian traitors who are in UAE and other gulf countries your money will finance the death and destruction of the Iranian people.

Iran's enemy is not Israel or USA, is its Arab neighbors.
