[/quote] Until Iran gets nukes and blasts something. Which should be in about 2 weeks. Then it begins. [/quote] you don't think Iran should have a nuke? so you are fine with the US govt telling people what arms they are allowed to have? [/quote] there was an agreement among the World Powers in the '70s and '80s that they would all band together and interdict the further Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons on Planet Earth at Any Cost. and, the U.S. sees that that whole agreement has fallen apart, and now they are going it alone. good luck with that.

Iran is planning to charge foreign ships a toll in exchange for "protection" across the Strait of Hormuz, a key trade route and a flashpoint in the escalating dispute between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
A member of the Iranian Parliament's presidium said foreign commercial entities should compensate Iran as "the true provider of security in the region and international waters,". Amirhossein Qazizadeh Hashemi claimed ships enter Iranian waters on their way through the strait and should therefore pay a toll.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow, 21-mile waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and greater Arabian Sea. About 18.5 million barrels of oil travel through the strait each day, accounting for 30% of the world's sea-traded oil. The waterway is considered crucial to global trade, but with a shipping lane only three miles long, it is also extremely vulnerable.
