Oil is a worldwide commodity. Extreme price volatility affects every nation. Every industry. Every family and person on earth. To allow Iran to affect this worldwide commodity without any response is a sign of pathetic weakness and shortsightedness.

Do you have any idea of the MASSIVE volume of arms we have sold to the Saudis?
Can't they read the manuals and use them against Iran themselves?
If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, that's a different matter.

They don’t have to block the strait, they can just keep sinking ships and watch us threaten them on twitter.
