There's a blockade? I may have missed it because of how it was worded.
Just curious but isn't a blockade an act of war? And if that's the case does that not give Iran every legal right to retalliate?

Wait...so now Iran is blockading the strait?
And no, if they do blockade it, it is not a blockade against the USA. An ally, perhaps, but not the USA.

If the West Blockades Iran, it's considered an act of war. If Iran blockades the Strait from the rest of the world, it's considered justifiable...

As I have said before...wehave kids here in the U.S. going to MIT who can build a NUKE in their sleep...even some talented High School kids could do it with todays civilian computing power. The thing is the fuel and the devivery systems.
Even if Iran were to develop a Nuclear Weapon...it would be huge...they might fit it on a truck....and unless they bought the tech...they are no where near the level of placing a warhead on a missle.
The idea that an Iranian built missle could reach the U.S. and even if it could by some chance of fate....it would be blown out of the sky very easily. Split Infinity

This guy speaks the truth. Accurate estimation too.
Most people think our nukes work just by putting some radioactive material with explosives onto a rocket.
The science comes in not it making it detonate, but keeping it stable until delivery is made.
