Iran: Flotilla Of Warships Sent Through Strait of Hormuz Heightens Tensions


http://i.huffpost.com/gen/474057/thumbs ... p#br#ed_cl#










Britain has joined the United States and

France in sending a flotilla of warships through the sensitive Strait of
Hormuz in a pointed message to the Iranian regime. The Ministry of Defence confirmed that a Royal Navy Type 23 frigate,

HMS Argyll, was part of the US-led carrier group to pass through the
waterway, as tensions continued to escalate over Tehran's nuclear
programme. The strait, a 34-mile-wide sea passage, connects the

petroleum-producing Persian Gulf states to the ocean, making it a
strategic choke point on the world's economy. The EU gave preliminary approval to new sanctions against Iranian oil

on Monday. On the table is a total ban on European purchases of Iranian
oil - a sanction that would not just hit Iran but key EU buyers
including Greece Italy and Spain. Sanctions are already expected against Iran's central bank.
The full implementation of the sanctions would be delayed until 1

July, due to concerns about their impact on the European economy. The UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands had been leading calls

for nothing more than a three-month delay before the sanctions bite, but
Greece, which fears its economic woes will worsen if it cannot find
alternative suppliers at Iran-style preferential rates - has urged a
much longer phase-in to ease the pain. The embargo is yet to be formally approved by the EU nations' foreign ministers, who are meeting in Brussels.
In response to the expected sanctions the Iranians have threatened to

close the strait - through which 35% of the world's tanker-borne oil
exports pass - in retaliation. It came as Foreign Secretary William Hague urged Iran to "come to its senses" and resume negotiations on its nuclear programme.

Any bid by Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the
Gulf, through which 20% of the world's oil exports pass would be
"illegal" and "unsuccessful", Hague warned.



The">http://i.huffpost.com/gen/474098/STRAIT ... new sanctions follow the stepping up of economic and diplomatic
sanctions against Iran last month, targeting members of the ruling
regime and associates who are subject to visa bans in Europe and the
freezing of assets. But today's ramping up of measures reflects concern that Iran is

developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a nuclear energy
programme. Hague commented: "These (sanctions) are peaceful and legitimate measures. They are not about conflict.

"I hope Iran will come to its senses on this issue and agree to negotiate." EU governments are calculating that the loss of European oil markets will persuade Iran to reopen talks on its nuclear plans.

On Monday, a MoD spokesman confirmed that "HMS Argyll and a French
vessel joined a U.S. carrier group transiting through the Strait of
Hormuz, to underline the unwavering international commitment to
maintaining rights of passage under international law." The six-strong flotilla was led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with up to 90 warplanes on board.

It reportedly passed through the Strait of Hormuz without incident. The Abraham Lincoln is the first American carrier to enter the Gulf since the end of last year.

It replaced another carrier, the USS John C Stennis, in a routine ship rotation. The departure of the USS John C Stennis had prompted the head of the

Iranian armed forces, General Ataollah Salehi, to warn the Americans not
to send any more carriers to the region. "We don't have any intention of repeating our warning and we warn only once," he said.

The MoD spokesman said that Britain maintained "a constant presence
in the region as part of our enduring contribution to Gulf security". Royal Navy warships have been patrolling there continuously since the 1980s.

They themselves can't afford these sanctions. Either to maintain and police them. Their economies will crumble as oil prices will rises if they try to enforce these. They are already on the brink. Desperate moves make for stupid moves. Plus EU, whatever, they're just being stupid and blustering. Watch EU countries start to make excuses why they can't enforce this and push it off as Iran gets the nuke. Checkmate.

Plus the Russians and Chinese will buy this oil and sell it to the EU at an inflated price. Double checkmate. If not the Chinese will use it all for their economy and fly right past those EU economies. Moron europeans. Europeans and their descendants trying to rule the world. F- them all.
