Al-Qaida threatens to close key oil artery


Iran?

Al CIA-Duh?

Mossad?

Nice slant, but a fail at fear-mongering. After all, we all know who _really_ controls oil prices, don't we?

The Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the strategic Persian Gulf waterway, is a major oil shipping route.

Between 15 and 16.5 million barrels of oil transit the Strait of Hormuz each day, roughly 20 percent of the world's daily oil production, according to the US government's Energy Information Administration.

Re: Iran may seek to close the Gulf's Strait of Hormuz
this would be your "false flag"


expect Iran to be blamed and then you have your war


pretty creative....I didnt think of this


ultimately I think Iran is trying to egg them on, to get US/Israel to throw the first blow
