Iran says European naval mission in Gulf would be ‘provocative’
[ARABNEWS] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

#4 Better them stepping up than us protecting their tankers. All the US Navy needs to do is destroy the eastern side of the gulf. Any ships going in or out is irrelevant to America.
