US Warns Nuclear-Armed Iran Could Dominate Strait of Hormuz

Original: If Iran Had Nuclear Weapons, No One Could Stop It From Controlling Hormuz: US

US officials say that if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, no country could prevent it from controlling the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which a large share of the world's oil passes. The warning underscores Washington's argument for preventing Iran from developing nuclear arms amid ongoing tensions over its nuclear programme.

Why now: Ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and threats to Gulf shipping keep the risk of Iranian nuclear capability in the news.
