This is what happens when military men are allowed to opine about politics and the country's foreign policy--dangerous and irresponsibly bullish talk which could have serious ramifications on the price of oil and would in no way endear IRI to the rest of the world.  This man should have been muzzled.

Kuwait had a declaration on this issue.  Why does the straight belong to Iran alone?  Shouldn't it be considered international?

Strait of Hormuz

Belongs to Iran and rightfully so would be closed once the foreign enemy attacks. In the case of an attack the American navy that is in the waters of the Persian Gulf Illegally, cannot leave either and will be sinked.
Iran can survive without oil or money but can the rest of the world, especially west and the US?

The Bush must think about all these before decides to be a decider. hehe, decider.
