Moscow, Nov 5 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Iran has set up a naval base in the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil route accounting for 25 percent of the world’s crude oil transportation.
It is located near Iran’s southern port city of Bandar Lengeh in Hormozgan province, some 1,100 km from Tehran, the Fars news agency reported.
It is the fifth naval base of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in the Persian Gulf.
Iran has threatened to close the Strait in the Persian Gulf in response to any foreign attack. The country’s other key naval bases are also located in the region.

Hmmm
This is like the US putting up a new base in South Florida. The intent of the article of course is to some how plant a seed in the readers mind that what Iran is doing is somehow evil and warlike. When in fact all they are doing is exactly what every Nation is supposed to do protect their borders against foriegn invaders.(accept the US were we leave our borders wide open to allow millions of illegal but very cheap laborers in and out of the country as needed by corporations and to keep wages down) Isn’t that the exact reason the US uses to invade every single enemy of israel in the Middle East–to protect us against “terrorists”
The US supports endless wars for Israel, it all started a decade ago after a false flag attack.
9/11, US and Israel:
