1. Iran is ready
Iran launches massive naval wargame titled "Holy Prophet"

Iran says it has tested radar-dodging missile

Iran’s kick-ass missiles

With enough anti-ship missiles, the Iranians can halt tanker traffic through Hormuz for weeks, even months. With the flow of oil from the Gulf curtailed, the price of a barrel of crude will skyrocket on the world market. Within days the global economy will begin to grind to a halt. Tempers at an emergency round-the-clock session of the UN Security Council will flare and likely explode into shouting and recriminations as French, German, Chinese and even British ambassadors angrily accuse the US of allowing Israel to threaten world order.
Since Iran is the home of China's largest energy-related investments, a conflict with Iran will not only bring China to the table, but its Russian ally as well.
