MP: Iran To Stage Military Drill To Close Straits Of Hormuz -- FARS News Agency (Iran)
TEHRAN (FNA)- A member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said the military was set to practice its ability to close the Persian Gulf to shipping at the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the most important oil transit channel in the world.
"Soon we will hold a military maneuver on how to close the Strait of Hormuz. If the world wants to make the region insecure, we will make the world insecure," Parviz Sorouri said.

Both Washington and Tel Aviv possess advanced weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear warheads.
