Business Insider: Iran orders 'foreign powers' to leave the Strait of Hormuz, and says the West is playing a 'dangerous game' over Gibraltar tanker seizure
* Many of the latest escalations between Iran and the West have been taking place in the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that sees $1.2 billion worth of the world's oil flow through it every day.
* On Wednesday, three Iranian gunboats harassed a British oil tanker in the strait, the UK said.
* Iran's foreign ministry spokesman warned on Friday: "Foreign powers should leave the region."
* Iran has threatened to disrupt maritime traffic in the strait multiple times in the past, as doing so could decrease the world's oil supply and send prices shooting up.
* The spokesman also lashed out at Britain was playing a "dangerous game" by seizing an Iranian oil tanker in Gibraltar last week.
Nuclear-deal tensions between Iran and the West also remain unresolved.
Iran has told "foreign powers" to leave its surrounding regions and warned that the rapidly-escalating tensions between Tehran and the West are "a dangerous game."
"Foreign powers should leave the region because Iran and other regional countries are capable of securing the regional security," Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi told the state-run IRNA news agency on Friday, according to Reuters.
It is not clear what "the region" entails specifically, or who the "other regional countries" are.

House Votes to Check Trump’s Authority to Strike Iran
"Iran is now one public step away from the point of no return." - James
"House Votes to Check Trump’s Authority to Strike Iran" - Atheist
I read James' post with a fair bit of trepidation. I might see my 3rd war. Of course, I will go. Of course, I will be afraid.
Then I read the Parrot's post. That partisan hack is just as delusional as the Democrat Party Pols. It does not matter if the Democrat elites do not war and are to busy trying to gain power by hook or by crook. The following saying is valid. "They might have no interest in war, but war has an interest in them."
Atheist does not consider that the House's monkey antics are encouraging Iran to stumble into war. They figure they might be able strike and draw blood and get away with it, if they stay under certain thresholds. The Monkeys are guaranteeing that people will die. They will take no responsibility. But what do you expect? The Democrat Party does not believe in 2 genders. They believe in a lot of stupid stuff. they are totally friggin ignorant.
Fusion,
That would mean war.
I would like to see a quick one, where the Persian overthrow the theocrats.
Don't worry too much Anon, I'm wrong alot.
