Indicating we could be in a "Cuban Missile" style scenario. Unfortunately for the world, JFK has long been dead, and the current President is more likely to do whatever his "advisers" at the Pentagon tell him to do.

"On Wednesday, Iran's top naval commander expounded on the issue of control to the nation's English-language Press TV. Habibollah Sayyari said Iran could close the strait but did not need to do so at this time because "we have the Sea of Oman under control, and we can control the transit."

Chief Pentagon spokesman George Little said Wednesday that any interference by Iran in the strait would 'not be tolerated," stressing that the region was "an economic lifeline for countries in the gulf.' "
