Iran may not have nukes YET (thou it appears they were very close)… but they do have the capacity to seriously reduce the flow of oil to the world by blocking traffic thru the Strait of Hormuz.

Regardless, this incident is evidence that we humans have not evolved psychologically since we wandered the dark continent in tribes warring one another over territory
