Keeping things genteel and talking of capabilities. Now, Wednesday morning Iran local time, official Iranian headlines are saying “Iran will choke Hormuz oil flow”, and the Rahimi remarks being reported by the Iranians are: ‘the enemies need a crushing response from the Islamic Republic to abandon their plots against the Iranian nation’. Interestingly, his actual remarks were a little milder: “Our enemies will give up on their plots against Iran only if we give them a firm and strong lesson.” The Iranian government’s tone is now utterly hardline and very, very angry… crushing and choking… rather than a firm and strong lesson. Is that splitting hairs? Don’t think so. Changing the wording indicates a conscious change of policy. And resolve. Any more sanctions, and… if Iran’s promises are to be believed… they will take the fatal step of closing the Strait, devil take the hindmost.

Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Mar_13:7 When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Luk_21:9 When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away." Why worry about such things when Christ told us not to? Things that must be will be, take rest in the Lord and keep watch for His return, worry not about tomorrow. Mat 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Mat 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. It is my belief that this instrument we call the Internet can and is a curse of mental hardship for many in the world. Causing fear and helping to spread the hate of mankind around the world. It causes those of peace to worry about things that they will never see happen, for they will have gone home to be with Lord years before any harm of body would befall them. Reading all this negative stuff on the Internet only serves to overload ones mind on earthly matters and take us away from keeping our Hope, Faith and Love in Jesus. Why do we always seek out the Bad News in Life, rather than the Good News? ICL Dennis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bite our nails over the state of the world, we forget that He is in charge.....not us. It's hard to look up when we're always looking around in fear.

When Iran barked, the price climbed. When the US barked back, it dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Actually, if Iran blocks the straights of Hormuz, it will be considered an act of war by the United States and the US Navy's 5th Fleet is prepared to act accordingly. It is confrontations like this that seem to have "world war" written all over them. If other countries come to Iran's aid, and our allies jump in as well, it could be a really big mess.

Yet, again today, Iran replies with "The US is in no position to make demands." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
