The U.S. Navy said Iran's threat to block the strategically and economically important Strait of Hormuz is unacceptable.
"The free flow of goods and services through the Strait of Hormuz is vital to regional and global prosperity," Navy 5th Fleet in Bahrain spokeswoman Cmdr. Amy Derrick Frost told reporters on Wednesday.
"Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international strait is clearly outside the community of nations; any disruption will not be tolerated."
The 34-mile-wide shipping channel leads in and out of the Persian Gulf between Iran and Oman. It is strategically important because tankers carrying oil travel through it.

@sfsd911 So who does all the killing then? Can you give me some factual numbers on (civilian) kills by Israel/US/Europe vs. those by Iran/Muslim world ....

@damarauder When Iran called for Israel' disappearance from the world map, don't you think Isreal has the right to defend itself? Survival of the fiffest. How do you like if Isreal wanted to wipe Iran off the map? Can these fucking muslim fanatics live in peace? I thought Islam teaches you peace and good deeds. Killing is a sin in Islam, isn't it?

@sfsd911 Israel should be wiped off the map...but not by a nuke. That's not what Iran said. The state of Israel should disappear for the same reasons the German Empire had to disappear.

Oh how cute.
Iran thinks it can do something about the US 5th fleet.
So tell me Iran, if your capital is in range of heavy naval guns, missile carries, and aircraft. Do you honestly think it's a good idea to rattle your fucking saber?
If so, what do you plan to do about it afterwards?

Iran is to cowardly to confront the world. They will suffer in shame as all cowards do. They hurl threats and lies like little school girls. They get humas to shoot missils at peacefull isreallies. They finance suicede bombers to attack civiliaans. Irans leadership is Inferior. They are to scared to attack Isrealy openly. There people suffer so their leaders can run amuck.. Their leaders hide in the dark being afraid of the truth that the west the path to freedom.

Such lies. There is no proof that the assassination attempt was from Iran.
If it was, you can see why they would. The Saudi's are in the pocket of the U.S. The U.S. assassinates foreigners, and now U.S. citizens abroad. I would not be surprised that other nations are angry at the U.S.
