Tim, Russia is going to build a nuclear plant for the Iranians. I seriously "doubt" that they'd go along with blockading them on ANYTHING. The Russians just LOVE to see us struggling with all this stuff. Iran has PLENTY of capability. The Falklands War proved how vulnerable ships are to missile attacks. The ships are pretty much the same since then (although their defenses have improved a lot), but missiles have improved a WHOLE lot more and our ships in the Strait of Hormuz and everywhere else in that area would be Sitting Ducks. Years ago some guys outta Yemen just about sank our destroyer with some crappy little boat. THAT's where we would lose "thousands" of Americans in any conflict with Iran. I think $300 buck oil would be a REAL good possibility. In the War Games they've done that consider WHAT would happen if we got into a conflict with Iran they ALWAYS seem to see Iran attacking Oil Fields and Oil Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia TOO. I think that would get us us to $300 buck oil pretty quick and KEEP us there for quite a while.
