The Israeli Navy may be good, but it isn`t that good, Uzi Arad. My God man, Iran has a 2,440-Km. coastline and that doesn`t count another 768 Km. on the Caspian Sea which is basically a Russian lake. Besides, a blockade is an act of war and Iran would immediately close the Straits of Hormuz to all shipping and back it up with shore-to-ship missles which are not too large, can be easily hidden and dispersed, and are difficult to shoot down by unarmed oil tankers. A naval blockade is a bad idea. Think of something else like cyper-sabotage for example.
