I feel so confident that the kenyan has this problem well in hand. Maybe if we just talk to them without any preconditions. Yeah that’s the ticket.

Until they have their nukes, I don’t think Iran wants to mess with the Saudis.

Saudi Arabia has 150 F-15s half of which are F-15E’s, experienced pilots, AWACS, tankers and plenty of gas and could make Iran a no-fly zone if they needed to.

Isn’t there enough garbage posted on FR these days without compounding the problem?

This is a realistic scenario, with one exception.

The writer assumes that the bombardment of Iran would have a pause once they tried to sloe the Strait.

Even Jimmy Carter knew the import of mideast oil to the US and rest of the work, thus the Carter Doctrine of 1980.

Not even Obama could avoid murderous war over an attempt to close the Strait, since that action alone, as the article projects, would cost 10's of millions their lives.

The 3rd world would suffer the brunt of closure.

Saw this issue the same time I saw the "Acropolis Now" cover of The Economist. Thanks Fennie.
