Iran threat to close Gulf to tankers
Aug 6th, 2008 | By David Harper | Category: WorldThe Age: Iran has warned it can easily close the Persian Gulf to oil shipments and says it has a new long-range naval weapon that can sink ships 300 kilometres away.
The warning, by the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, followed the expiry at the weekend of an informal deadline for Iran to respond to incentives from six world powers to stop enriching uranium.
