LONDON (Reuters) - The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Thursday their forces were ready to implement Iran’s threat to block the Strait of Hormuz and that if Iran cannot sell its oil under the U.S. pressure, no other regional country will be allowed to.

“We are hopeful that this plan expressed by our president will be implemented if needed ... We will make the enemy understand that either all can use the Strait of Hormuz or no one,” Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp, was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.

Indeed.

LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. Navy stands ready to ensure freedom of navigation and free flow of commerce, a spokesman for the U.S. military’s Central Command said on Thursday, after Iran warned it will block oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

From what I've been told the threat isn't so much the their boats as it is their anti-ship missiles all over the coast.

Fear of closure of the Strait of Hormuz for even a short while or fear of disruption to regular shipping is enough to spook oil traders and send the price of errrl to diamond encrusted truck nuts levels.

If we lose a U.S Navy vessel I can guarantee you it will be a bad day for Iran. Firing off a burst of 12.75 or putting a shell over the bow is one thing. Actually sinking one? Bad move.

That would end Iran's oil exporting capability, their ports, their limited Air force assets in a few days.

It is my understanding the Iranians use former Soviet Bloc weaponry. Am I wrong?
