Exactly what I was thinking.
It's actually a pretty clever plan, I'm surprised they or another country hasn't done this.
Really they woudn't have to destroy the tanker just go out there and start dumping.

But why would they do that? Pouring profits into the sea? Im not understanding the thinking here...
So if they start dumping oil, cant the west just say, ok, we arent purchasing from you anymore? Time to pipe in that pipeline form Canada.

"And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea. The first calamity has been upon the earth; the second is upon the ocean. The second angel pours his vial upon the sea. Then the waters become red as blood and in the great mortality that follows it seems to John as if every soul in the sea was dead."
You can almost see oil as blood, as it is part of a force that runs our daily life, like a bloodstream.

Ok, so help me understand this correctly...
Iran creates a massive oil spill at the entrance of the Persian Gulf. This now closes the Gulf off to incoming traffic due to the cleanup that would be needed? And the only way this cleanup could take place is if Iran gives the ok?
And this now pisses off their neighbors as well, correct?
Call me ignorant to whats really going, fine. Like I stated earlier, Im not familiar with how this works. But Im trying to understand it.
