I know there is a detailed plan in place to keep the straits open, that has been in the media for months if not years now.

But it won't change the insurance rates once the waterway becomes an active conflict zone. The whole area is easily within Iranian missile range, and supertankers are big, slow targets.

if iran causes trouble, it will last about a day or less.

Could you elaborate what you mean by that? One day, and then what happens?

Spot the troublemaker: Pakistan crisis is no less than stopping the gas pipeline between Iran and India by other means.

Iran, Pakistan close to finalise gas pipeline project:
Oct 30: Pakistan and Iran have reflected their commitment to the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project as they move forward today to give the deal a final touch. On Sunday, Iranian Oil Minister's Special Envoy for the pipeline talks Hojjatollah Ghanimifard said final touches to the contract would be given this week.


Before the contract is signed, Pakistan erupts. Why?

Who has been trying to stop the gas pipeline between India and Iran across Pakistan? If one answer this question. One knows who's behind Pakistan trouble.

US Stands in the Way of International Pipeline Deal
AlterNet, CA - Oct 30, 2007
A major natural gas pipeline that would stretch from the fields of southern Iran to Pakistan and India -- itself a remarkable prospect -- is being planned.


Doesn't strike you the fact that creating a flare point in Pakistan stops the gas pipeline?

Therefore geo-politics must be learned to know who is the troublemaker. Flare points around the world are created artificially by countries try to profit from the ensuing 'crisis'.

People should learn how the real world works before expressing opinions. Luckly they have Elmat to clarify the issues.
