Iran warns of closing strategic Hormuz oil route.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) Iran's navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.
It was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran's oil shipments.
In response, the Bahrain-based U.S. 5th Fleet's spokeswoman warned that any disruption "will not be tolerated." The spokeswoman, Lt. Rebecca Rebarich, said the U.S. Navy is "always ready to counter malevolent actions to ensure freedom of navigation."
With concern growing over a possible drop-off in Iranian oil supplies, a senior Saudi oil official said Gulf Arab nations are ready to offset any loss of Iranian crude.
That reassurance led to a drop in world oil prices. In New York, benchmark crude fell 77 cents to $100.57 a barrel in morning trading. Brent crude fell 82 cents to $108.45 a barrel in London.
"Closing the Strait of Hormuz is very easy for Iranian naval forces," Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV. "Iran has comprehensive control over the strategic waterway," the navy chief said.
The threats underline Iranian concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could target Tehran's vital oil industry and exports.

And who are we to tell any Nation they're not allowed to have Nukes? We got em and we've used em. We have no right to put sanctions on Iran.
Does the Hormuz Oil Route belong to Iran?
Not sure that matters.
Sure it does.
Does Iran have any reasonable claim to block this oil route?

Does Iran have any reasonable claim to block this oil route?
Iran does not now the Straight of Hormuz any more than Saudi Arabia owns the Persian Gulf. It is an international shipping route. The US is not the sole use of this route. Iran is strategically located to block it at the narrowest point wich is about 50 miles wide. That's it and that's all.
Sure it does.

"Were doing this terrible thing all over again. As before, were letting a bunch of ignorant, sloppy-thinking politicians and politicized foreign-policy experts draw red line ultimatums. As before, were letting them quick-march us off to war. This time their target is Iran. And heaven knows Irans leaders are bad guys capable of doing dangerous things. But if weve learned anything, anything at all, from plunging into war in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, it is this: we must have a public scrubbing of fighting rhetoric before, not after, the war begins."
