Which would prompt other countries to act, not just the US. What I'm getting at is Iran has already threatened to jeopardize the shipping lane in some form if aggravated in any way by the US. If Iran does, would that act be grounds for attack, not only by the US but other nations as a whole? I mean it would be an act that would endanger the entire world wide economy, would it not?
