Iran Threatens to Close Mediterranean Sea Alleging U.S. Gaza ‘Crimes’

[1LoverofGod]

According to Reuters, no exact disclosure was made of exactly how Tehran would seal off the expansive waterway.

In the past Iran has sent armed ski boats out on patrol into contested waters, however the results have been mixed with the U.S. Navy in particular simply ignoring its Iranian counterparts and their threats of impending doom.

Iran backs Hamas terrorists in their fight against Israel and it accuses the U.S. of backing what it calls Israeli crimes in Gaza, where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are working to rescue the hostages taken when Hamas invaded Israel on Oct. 7.

“They shall soon await the closure of the Mediterranean Sea, (the Strait of) Gibraltar and other waterways,” the Tasnim outlet quoted Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, coordinating commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as saying.

in addition, might want to buy a few extra bags of (Turkish) dried apricots and a few extra bottles of Italian and Greek wine.

The Italian olive oil I use went up $8 a bottle since October 7 at one grocery, and I'm watching for it to go way up at the other grocery that sells it Bought a few extra bottles at the lower price and took advantage of a sale at the same time [whew]

I'm very surprised gas hasn't gone way up, yet, but I'm "sure" that's coming
