Iran threatens oil artery shut-off if sanctioned


Oil prices have surged after Iran threatened to block shipments through one of the world’s busiest waterways, if new Western sanctions cripple its own exports.

    @apresesco Well great we are in agreement then! Why don’t you go ahead and stop hiding it and spread the word that the USA SHOULD ATTACK IRAN TODAY!!

  3. apresesco says:

    @XMansv To be honest…as an anti-American, I secretly wish for the US to attack Iran. A war with Iran will destroy what still remains of the USA economy. Meanwhile, Asian countries like India and China will continue with a strong and profitable manufacturing sector.

    @luisitolindo Ha ha ha ha thanks for the laugh monkey.

    Are you stupid?? first we kill USA. Latinoamerica togheter with IRAN!!!!!
    USA Must Be Destroyed Immediately, no more gringos!!!!!

  6. XMansv says:

    !! ATTACK IRAN !!

    The USA should have gone to WAR WITH IRAN years ago when they were sending insurgents across the border into Iraq to kill US and coalition soldiers.

    IRAN IS TRYING TO BUILD NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WILL START WW3

    The Iranian government is led by religious mainiacs from a barbaric and hateful religion who believe they will go to heaven if they die killing people who are not muslimes.

    STOP BARBARIC ISLAM BEFORE THEY TAKE OVER THE WORLD AND CONVERT OR KILL EVERYONE ELSE!

    @ModernNorseman Iran won’t attack Obama warmongers the U.N will order America to invade illegally without congress AGAIN. How gullible can the American sheeples be? to much lame stream propaganda media. Iran will have to defend they will be given no choice, just like anyone would defend.

  10. GMGaugeRepair says:

    This is just Obama warmongers wanting to invade another foreign oil land again.

    oh wow.. check this video .. youtube..search ****** 95aHohmFahM

    Iranian and Bolivian president were caught trading uranium for creation of nuclear bombs.. we all doomed.. :(

  12. ModernNorseman says:

    if Iran was attacked we can all agree. It is the Iranian people who will be brutalized and suffering.

    USA and NATO can boast about “policing the world”, but in the end its all just their own dark agenda’s. Do some research on “The New American Century.” The USA is an engine for world progress through bloodshed and wars. USA is merely being used by special interest groups and powerful elites who have ever-increasing global control.

    Who REALLY runs our world? search “israel Did 911″ and search “ZionCrimeFactory” for proof.
    “US Rep. McKinney has accused the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, etc) for ruining her political career.She refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge from Congress and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, she said “war was declared” on her by them. In 2009 she told TIU’s Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Zionist-Israeli interests.”

    @1DarkMasK1 I’m more concerned that I’m going to spend the rest of my natural life defending a comment posted a week ago

  15. shezzzzzz says:

    Relax people if Iran is attacked!? Then we will see little more then a rise in fuel costs thats all and this will be for a few months and it will all return to normality. Relax!!

    @nwcoastlife

    I am more concerned about warmongering countries that HAVE nuclear weapons then some country that doesnt have nuclear weapons and didnt want war even when they were attacked by Iraq.

    Terrorist Iran CAN’T close with fishing boat the strait H.

  18. apresesco says:

    @nwcoastlife Well, Iran, Russia and China are not going anywhere as well.

  19. nwcoastlife says:

    @apresesco Better find a new planet to live on then. We’re not going anywhere.

  20. apresesco says:

    @nwcoastlife I’m more worried about the U.S. nuclear threat and the American psychopathic leaders.

  21. nwcoastlife says:

    @pullzdatrigga I’m not. We were talking about sanctions. My point is that the U.S. is hardly the only country concerned about Iran going nuclear.

  22. pullzdatrigga says:

    @nwcoastlife I hope you’re not advocating another U.S. invasion on the basis of leaked political cables

  23. nwcoastlife says:

    @pullzdatrigga Haha, as if RT isn’t propaganda? How about 2 years worth of unearthed wikileaks that Iran’s nuke program has every country from KSA to France shitting their pants over the possibility of a nuclear Iran? Iran chose to remain defiant knowing the consequences it would bring. The moment he took office, Europe was prodding Obama to take the offensive on Iran. Sarkozy even called him “immature on Iran” because of his softball approach. They’re not our lapdogs.

  24. pullzdatrigga says:

    @nwcoastlife “we weren’t the only country concerned about Iran’s nuclear program.” You actually believe that propaganda? stop repeating what Fox News or CNN says, Iran isn’t trying to build nuclear weapons they’re is ZERO evidence for that.
    The U.S and Allies do have a right to trade with whom they please, the issue is the U.S gov ordering the rest world to stop trade with Iran because they won’t play ball with them. What happens to a sovereign nation that won’t play ball? They get bombed/worse

  25. nwcoastlife says:

    @pullzdatrigga Why do you resort to insults? I didn’t call you a retard, insane, or use profanity. The USA and it’s allies have the right to trade or not trade with whomever they please. Oil is a fungible commodity. If Iran cared about their trade relations with the west, they should have taken diplomacy more seriously, earlier when it was an option. None of our allies were obligated to participate in sanctions, we weren’t the only country concerned about Iran’s nuclear program.
