Also, nothing will come of it. Just as Iran has done for the past thirty years - they beat their chest like a moronic 8 year old throwing a hissy fit. They won't actually do anything, however as oil is a big economic factor, we have to abide and show that we won't stand for it by sending ships/troops there for protection. We can't just let Iran bluff all the time.

Also for all you kiddies who seem to always think war is upon us, specially when it comes to Iran. This shit has been happening with Iran for literally thirty years. I know it's fun to think your time on this earth is special and something new is happening but it's not. This same thing happened last year, the year before that, and so on. And it will happen again next year and the year after that.

So calm down and shut the fuck up. Thank you.
