So how exactly do you "close" this in an effective way against the americans and would that not make the other gulf countries very mad? Asking for a fried

>>508336233 (OP)
Let the other gulf countries through?

Bomb ships that pass through. Americans getting mad is the point

>>508336233 (OP)

i think they can place mines and drone attacks

no insurance company will touch any ships going through there, hence they will not sail past it

I don't think they care about making them mad, just ask the houthis

>>508336308
which defeats the purpose of closing the strait in the first place

all the gulf countries will be mad
and you close it by suicide speedboats, drones, anti ship missiles from the shore, mines and sinking a couple big ass ships in it
its the only card in irans hand they can play, so if they cant, they are fucked

>>508336233 (OP)
there are reports of iranian ships putting up that yellow tape that says "do not cross" from each end of the coast.

>>508336233 (OP)
Launch a few missiles at passing ships.
Insurance rate goes through the roof
Ships stop traveling the passage because of the risks

Just ask the Houthis.

>>508336233 (OP)
you don't, it's literally a suicide move

>>508336233 (OP)
fuck that. I can literally see the Iranian mountains on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz from my house. Seriously how will this affect me I need to know now

>>508336233 (OP)
I'm guessing the new route is going to go through the gulf countries, to Saudi, to Jordan, and then through Israel or Syria to the Mediterranean and the rest of the world

Also China, since it gets most of its oil from there.

>not make the other gulf countries very mad
are you under the impression that iran is friendly with the gulf states currently?

>>508336233 (OP)
Ever seen a sea mine in action?

Plus ballistic missiles and raiding parties, then submersible vehicles. Unsure what Iran uses for that, but basically the entire waterway becomes a deathtrap. And no one with any shipping frigate/oil tankers will take a chance with that.

>>508336233 (OP)
Same way the Houthis did.
It made everyone mad. They didn't care.

>>508336233 (OP)
who cares what the arabs think? they all are a bunch of spineless cowards.

>>508336233 (OP)
You could allow selective passage to ships that do not use US currency, banks or insurance

>>508337402
project reality

>>508337608
Obviously, mines would not be possible because they do not allow selective passage. You'd have to use missile batteries

>>508336233 (OP)
Gulf countries should stop being kikes and side with Iran. They need the nuke umbrella against Israel anyway.

>>508336233 (OP)
The gulf states already fucked over Iran and have de facto sided with Israel in every way.

MINES

Lots of fucking MINES.

>>508336233 (OP)
You don't. It's just an empty threat from a desperate, agonizing regime that knows its days are numbered. If they try to do something like that, the consequences will be even more crushing for them. If Khamenei wants to follow in the footsteps of Hussein, Bin Laden, and Gaddafi, then yeah, he should go for it.

>>508336233 (OP)
Throw a load of mines in it and use shore based anti ship missiles at any ship that attempts to transit it.

>>508337402
>Zoom zoom

Where does the time go brehs

>>508336233 (OP)
A tanker is worth more than it's cargo, so you just need to sink a small percentage of the tankers to make sailing there unprofitable.

>>508337898
This but also, doesn't the American navy have a huge advantage in that they can just post up there and obliterate the Iranian naval blockades? or am i being to grug about it

>>508336316
>Bomb ships that pass through.
And you only need to sink a few percentage of them to stop all of them.
The EU regimes could buy the tankers, run convoys and accept the risk themselves, but that takes time, and the EU don't have time.

>>508336522
>its the only card in irans hand they can play, so if they cant, they are fucked
They can, since they only need to sink a few ships to make all stop.

>>508337920
We used to be a proper civilization.

>>508337898
>If Khamenei wants to follow in the footsteps of Hussein, Bin Laden, and Gaddafi, then yeah, he should go for it.
They are dead no matter what they do, so they might as well go out with a bang.
Russia could lie and say that they will support them like NATO did to the Ukraine, and then the EU would be fucked.

>>508338123
>obliterate the Iranian naval blockades
A naval blockade here is just sinking a few tankers Houthi style, so sailing there become unprofitable.

>>508338764
Yeah but I mean obliterate the ones attempting to disrupt the shipping lines.

>>508338940
That worked wonders against the Houtis?
The USA will need boots on the cround controlling the coastline to open it up, and even then Iran might be able to sink enough ships to make it unprofitable to sail there.

>>508336233 (OP)
well, you dont. But you place mines throughout it, and cause enough fear that regular ships and oil tankers and the likes dont dare to pass.

Its literally just terrorism. Now, im not defending israel or the US in saying that - they are terrorists as well of course, but against iran.

But would you push through a billion dollar worth oil tanker with said commodity through the strait, or wait a month, during all of this?

Enjoy your cheap gas while you got it, i got a feeling we're getting 90 dollars a barrel of oil by monday, if not higher.

-fun fact, I predicted all of this 60 days ago and bought so much oil that its not even funny.

china will seethe if they do that

I have 2k liters in a tank as well.
The previous owner of my house bought diesel for heating because he ran a transportation firm, and I didn't know until this spring, since I just assumed that it was empty and used wood for heating.

What if they literally started just dumping tons of raw material there. Like, tons of dirt and rock and shit? Literally block it off, for real.

People have actually suggested that in a different context. Finns and estonians could block russia from accessing the baltic sea if they wanted to.
Obviously, i support that idea. I am biased though.

>>508336233 (OP)
There is a submarine base right in the choke point called Bandar Abbas and Iran tends to camp missile batteries in the hills nearby. Really it's not a huge threat, I had to wargame against Iran as an Intelligence Specialist in the Navy but they don't even have any new tech and their subs are still all diesel. I hate kikes and all other sandniggers, just bomb them all.
