13, according to Iranian media reports, the Iranian National Security Council on Foreign Relations members of the Pal Horowitz Suolu in the day said that Iran’s armed forces will soon be training in the Strait of Hormuz, when foreign invasion was quickly blocked the ability of the Straits. Although the Iranian military declined to comment, but the weight of words, but really the whole world were surprised. Some analysts believe that Iran is in accordance with the Strait of Hormuz around the military deployment, it does have the ability to block the strategic Strait, but the blockade of the Straits should be a country in extreme danger of military action, and once implemented, will kill enemy 1000 self-harm 800, Iran really mean it?

military blockade of the Straits have been included in the agenda?

It 伊朗迈赫尔 news agency reported, Suolu in 13, said: “The current supply of oil in the Middle East accounted for 70% of the world’s energy needs, mostly through the Strait of Hormuz shipped around the world if the world wants in the Middle East become unsafe, then we will let the whole world becomes unsafe. “Suolu in Iran, saying the military would not comment, but this is not the first time, Iranian officials express a similar view. Responsible for the defense of the Strait of Hormuz Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Major General Ali Jia law had said in early July, blockade the Strait of Hormuz plans have been included in the military agenda. But Jaafari also emphasized that only in certain special circumstances (such as Iran were actual military combat) blocked only when the Straits. Iran’s armed forces chief of staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lieutenant General Abdullah Rahim Mousavi, also a TV show this year, said Iran pursues the policy of active defense, once the face of the United States to invade, it will be out the war to foreign , including the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off the right of navigation.

Iranian army has also been through a variety of exercises to strengthen their control of the Strait of Hormuz combat capability. Since 2006, Iran in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz troops held joint exercises and the use of weapons-grade scale has gradually increased, especially at the Cooperative Engagement Capability arms significantly improved. In May last year the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the Navy in the Persian Gulf row at the “great prophet, 6″ and “guard -89″ exercise, for example, prominent Revolutionary Guards to shore-based anti-ship missiles, ballistic missiles and submarines, missile boats to ” saturation attack “so that the narrow Strait waters into a” sea of ??fire “, and the Iranian Navy will blockade the Strait into the Sea of ??Oman extending the scope of the exercise scenario, almost all of Iran’s territorial waters are included.

Iran holds the weapon, and will play

beginning in 2009, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards navy and conducted intensive task of adjustment, the first comprehensive Revolutionary Guards took over the defense of the Strait of Hormuz, the Straits throat at Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa islands about 300 heavy deployment of “Thunder” shore-ship missile, the missile is known as “Silkworm” missile replica of the Iraq war, the latter two “attack boat war” was very beautiful. According to the U.S. “global security” website to provide information, the Revolutionary Guard naval forces existing 2 million people, with three frigates, 10 “China Cat” class attack boats, 40 Swedish-made Boghammer class patrol boats, three “Kilo “Large class submarines, three mini-submarines and three domestic coastal submarines, they are almost all concentrated in the straits around the anchorage in the port and secret. Currently, the Revolutionary Guard naval efforts to “missile” and stepped up with domestic “Noor”, “Kesa Er” and “Nasr” three armed anti-ship missiles.

As for the Iranian Navy, then according to the state’s “far sea defense” strategy, since last year in the northern Strait of Hormuz operate more ports to facilitate the deployment of mobile fleet, which is outside Iran’s ability to strengthen the blockade of the Strait as one of the steps. Previously disclosed, according to Iranian state television, the main Iranian Navy is gradually transferred from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, especially the country’s only three Russian “Kilo” class submarines have been transferred from the naval headquarters of Abbas to at Gulf of Oman north of Qiaba Ha, another Qiaba Ha also began a large number of missile boats, they are equipped with Israel in the 2006 hit stealth frigate of the “Noor” anti-ship missiles.

blockade is still pressure bottom of the “Sha Zhao”

since 1980 has been a sudden invasion of Iraq, eight years and then be dragged into the quagmire of Iraq war After Iran’s operational thinking evolved into “offensive defense”, that is aggressive attitude to expand their defense in depth. However, when Na Huoer wood Zihai Gap back surgery, in fact, also have their own great harm. Former U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen said that once Iran or have the ability to temporarily destroy the Strait of Hormuz to shipping activities, but the blockade and control will not last long, Moreover, it will allow Iran to block Strait itself is built on the basis of oil exports economic collapse, this-Iraq war in the “war ship hit” in the performance of the head, when the Iraqi Air Force destroyed the city of Kharg Island, Iran’s oil exports, Iran to maintain one of the pillars of war — oil trade declaration paralyzed.

More importantly, the West will not allow Iran to block Strait. Lexington Institute told the U.S. military offered a cheap and effective counter-measures, that is to start pre-emptive ‘offensive mine warfare, “Naval blockade of Iran, so Iran’s fleet standing still. Lexington Institute said, laying a mine production and eliminate the cost of less than 0.5% of the cost, time required to remove a mine laid mines is 200 times. ▲
