      Same reason they’re doing it now, to stem the flow of arms into Israel and make everyone enabling America and its attack dog choose between enabling us and having oil.

        Jesus fucking Christ, you can’t be serious.

        and make everyone enabling America and its attack dog choose between enabling us and having oil.

        So why didn’t they do this the last dozen times they were attacked by Israel?

          Because those were much more limited strikes. Why exactly do you think Iran closed the strait?

            They eradicated most of Iran’s air defenses, which is kind of pertinent to the situation they find themselves in now.

            Why exactly do you think Iran closed the strait?

            … because the US joined an all-out fucking war on Iran, and increased oil prices weaken the domestic position of the American president to maintain the war.
