Olmert proposes naval blockade on Iran


au.news.yahoo.com
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert proposed in talks with a U.S. congressional leader that a naval blockade be imposed on Iran to try to curb its nuclear program, an Israeli newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The Haaretz daily quoted Olmert as telling Nancy Pelosi that "the present economic sanctions have exhausted themselves" and the international community needed to take more drastic steps to stop Iran's efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.

A spokesman for Olmert declined to comment on the Israeli leader's talks on Monday with Pelosi, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, in Jerusalem.

that is the persion gulf

see how tight it is

now would it be a smart move to put ships in there to blockade a country that is armed with loads of anti ship missiles and which has even been proven against Israeli ship by hazbullah who were able to launch one at them?

Iran have sunburns and other anti ship missiles from china and russia which have the capilbility to hit most ships and cause a degree of damage.

like shooting fish in a barrel

It is my understanding that the intention IS to have the American empire crumble, so that it can be replaced by something even more sinister.

As for Iran, this wouldn't be a Naval Blockade. This would be an act of war by Israel/US, and any attempt by Iran to dissuade the ships would be entirely justified.

Iraq was a milestone. From what I can tell, Iran is the next milestone. There will be others afterwards, however it won't be the US leading the way as that country will have been demolished intentionally. It will be the next generation of false freedom, hidden under some other name brand.

Man oh Man i thought i was the person holding the door open when every one was given brains but i was wrong after watching that

Now i'm not even sure if American people know they are in Iraq

Iran would just sink the ships if they did a blockade

And if they want to flood the world with cheap oil i say let them

My understanding is if anyone attacks Israel America will come to their aid. So even if Israel did the naval blockade by itself the US will be drawn into a war that will crumble it's empire.

May sound strange but I thought I read a thread about how Israel were behind 9/11 would they be trying to defeat the US by doing this?

Keep your friends close but keep your enimies closer is that not the saying.

Exactly.

Well by all means Mr. Olmert sail your fibreglass gunboats and measly destroyers into the Persian Gulf and see what happens.

But don't come crying to the US after Israeli war ships starting hitting the sea floor, struggling to compute this escalation in tensions.
It is an ACT OF WAR, and Iran would have every right to respond to a naval blockade within it's territorial waters.

These Zionist nutjobs seriously want to cripple an already economically starved nation that's suffering more than a 25% poverty rate with even more restrictions on their trade?

Well if this isn't bringing Tehran to the discussion table now, what makes you think EVEN MORE sanctions will do any good?
If anything it will emblazon Ahmadinejad's cause and give him more ammo to use in furthering his Nuclear Ambitions.

And they expect the Iranians to still sit and take it, to just wither away and no tdo a thing about it? What Fantasy Kingdom does Ehud Olmert reside in?

Israel was in the Middle East last time I checked.

This quote I cannot believe he actually made:
"Iranian business people who would not be able to land anywhere in the world would pressure the regime," Haaretz quoted Olmert as saying.


Sigh.... where do they get the balls? Seriously.. where?

Israel needs to come off it's high horse and spend a few minutes back down on Earth.
They're not helping the situation in the Middle East by calling for actions such as this, nor have they ever really done anything to foster stability. They sure know how to provoke and escalate tensions but as for fanning the flames, that seems to be a foreign concept to them.

You don't want Nuclear Islamic States and sponsored-terrorist groups?

Then STOP friggin' making ultimatums and pressuring people. Just stop.
And they wonder why they have to deal with rockets and car bombs going off everyday in Haifa or Jerusalem, when they act like the Crown Princess of the Middle East who always gets her way.

You give the Israelis an inch, they take a mile.
Ridiculous.
