What is the plan? I think this was revealed by the recent "Operation Brimstone", a 10-day exercise in the Atlantic Ocean involving more than a dozen ships, including the US carrier strike group Theodore Roosevelt and expeditionary strike group Iwo Jima; the French submarine Amethyste, and the British HMS Illustrious Carrier Strike Group, as well as a Brazilian frigate. The exercise was geared to practice a naval blolckade on Iran, primarily to inhibit the import of refined petroleum products....something Tehran is particularly vulnerable to:

A naval blockade of Iran will likely be imposed without the cooperation of Russia and China, Iran's special friends:

There is no binding understanding between the P5+1 that they must act together, and the “blockade” word has begun to circulate within diplomatic circles at POTUS, State, the US Congress, Britain, France and Israel.

Thus, full-scale war between East and West might be the outcome of such an act of war by the Western powers vis-a-vis Iran:

If we stopped gas from going in, but let the oil go out, why would Russia and China go to war over that? In fact, why would they go to war over anything like that?
