Plus, ANY attempts to use Military Forces to open the Strait is NOT just foeeoolishness.
It's also going to be very EXPENSIVE.

Defending their Military Ships and the SUPERSLOW tankers from Iran's Drones, Missiles and/or Mines will most likely ERADICATE the benefits of getting the oil at all.

What would be the point of getting the oil when 1 litre costs a KIDNEY?

Bragging rights, maybe?

⚡Zelenskyy pitches drone deal during Bahrain visit.

Ukraine’s president has held a meeting with King Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa during a visit to Bahrain and offered to sign a deal to provide drones.

“Our country is facing similar terrorist strikes almost every day, and our people have relevant experience in full-scale defence,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on social media. “Ukraine is ready to share this security expertise with Bahrain and help strengthen the protection of life.”

During the meeting, the two leaders also “discussed the security situation in the Middle East and the Gulf … Iran’s strikes against Bahrain and other countries, as well as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz”, he said.

On the Island Seizure, their main TARGET would most likely be Kharg Island.

But if they do it, the oil would still have to PASS through the Strait—where Missiles, Drones and Mines will be WAITING for them.

And Iran will most likely target ALL oil depot in the Middle East.

Any attempt to STEAL Iran's oil may HOOK them in the throat.

⚡Iranian Report:

Iranian President Pezeshkian was furious with IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi over the attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE, and Oman, which were carried out without the government's knowledge.

Pezeshkian called for an urgent meeting with Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to stop the escalation, calling the attacks "madness" and "total irresponsibility" that could lead to irreversible consequences.

very weak president. IRGC should just find a way to remove Pezeshkian before he start giving IRGC location to USA and Israel

Why did Iran attack the UAE? I don't think this is cool. What is Iran pre-empting by attacking UAE's oil facility.

Appleyard:
UAE can not be an accessory to a crime and expect to live in a glass house.


You can not be housing bases where attacks are launched against Iran and expect not to be attacked.

You cannot be aiming to sell your oil via the Fujairah pipeline while you are supporting the efforts to deny your neighbor the right to sell theirs.

So long you wish your neighbor will not sleep, yourself will not sleep. The UAE never see anything.
