Iranian state TV quoted Rohani as saying on December 4 that "if someday, the United States decides to block Iran's oil [exports], no oil will be exported from the Persian Gulf."
Rohani also vowed that the United States would not be able to prevent Iran from exporting its crude oil.

Oil says the same to you hippie. BTW are you using some kind of tofu smart phone or hemp computer or something? Probably not which makes you a douche bag.
The USA is the Saudi Arabia of North America and could see to its own needs should Iran cut off the straits. China on the other hand will be furious with Iran and will make sure the straits stay open. Empty threats from Iran.
The US for the prior 70 years had the duty to keep the straits open with its Navy so we stationed a large force in that area for 70 years. Now all the USN has to be able to do is close the straits. Just close it. We are that awash in US based oil and gas.
Interesting perspective..... might even be a strategy in the cards for all we know. Hmm
Yeah,
Closure would not serve Iran's interests at all. It would draw in players they really don't want.
