Iran Says It Will Close Strait of Hormuz
I have been wondering about what Iran's intentions regarding the Strait of Hormuz were, and now we have the answer: they intend to close the chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. At least that was the unanimous decision by the Iranian Parliament. An executive security committee has the final say.

Somewhere around 25% of the world's oil travels through the Strait on its way to market, making control over the Strait about as strategically significant as a place can be.
