Keep dreaming Mad Mullahs. [/quote] It's been that way for a while. I always wondered how a tiny little shit stain island called the u.k was able to conquer the world. They say it was because of its ships and navy. Even to this day they haven't been able to defeat their British and American navy. So bad that even until 1999 China was getting but fucked with Hong Kong by the British. You Brits created the whole Pakistan vs india when you partitioned them. You British still worship a fucking king and queen , the same king and queen bloodline from the war of 1812. But I hear China has got some carrier killer missles. And Iran says they can sink a carrier with their secret weapon. [/quote] Why you so upset ? You make a post about Iran wanting protection money from the World. Then go on a mono rant because i point out US owns the Sea, and will sail where the fuck it wants. Bipolar much ? And for your information,the British Royal Navy is still a formidable force.Obviously a million miles away from the US Navy,but still a comfortable second,better than both China, and Russia.British Royal marines are a formidable force.And they now have an Iranian Tanker full of oil. US and UK are intrinsically linked forever.UK is a US geo-strategic interest.Always will be. [/quote]

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.
