Stop Fundamentalism – Iranian Naval ships took to the sea today covering a distance of about 2000 kilometers east of Strait of Hormuz to the Persian Gulf and then Gulf of Aden. The parade kicked off Iran’s 10 day display of sea power using ships and submarines. During these maneuvers Iran’s Navy will be closing the Strait of Hormus as part of the drill.
The Iranian Navy, trying to show some might to the west, has been threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz in the event of an attack by the west due to its clandestine nuclear weapons program. The Strait of Hormuz is the most important sea pathway for international oil trade.
