Here is a summary of where the world stands:

• Unable to reach a compromise over the weekend, South Africa is now in an all out labor strike, with the police again firing rubber bullets at miners with lethal escalation guaranteed
• Back from vacation, the once again penniless citizens of Spain, Greece, and Portugal have resumed protesting austerity
• US embassies attacked, in many cases with numerous casualties, in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Lebanon, India, Balgadesh, Indonesia, and others.
• Japan «appropriating» China-contested islands provoking a firestorm of retaliation including demands for «war with Japan«
• The Japanese ambassador to China dying mysteriously
• Netanyahu telling Meet the Press Iran will have a nuke in six-seven months and must be stopped beforehand
• Warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, launching a military exercise in the Straits of Hormuz
• A third US aircraft – the CVN-74 Stennis – carrier is en route to Iran with an ETA of about 10 days
• And finally, a potential catalyst to light this whole mess on fire, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announcing that its troops are now on the ground in Syria.

Crude Spikes On News Iran Lawmakers Propose Straits Of Hormuz Blockade For Sanctions Countries | ZeroHedge

What goes down, must come up. In this case crude, which is soaring on news out of FARS that Iranian lawmakers have drafted a bill proposing a blockade of the Straits of Hormuz for oil tankers heading to sanctions supporters, i.e., embargo countries. Naturally, if implemented, this would mean an almost inevitable military retaliation on behalf of the «western world.» Then again, this is not the first time Iran has postured with a blockade.

A member of the Iranian parliament (Majlis) said that Iran will close
the Hormuz Strait if the economic sanctions against the Islamic
Republic take effect.

 

Arsalan Fathipour in an interview with Alalam News Network said that the recent oil price fall will not last for long.

 

«We take the control of the Hormuz Strait. If we are supposed
to be sanctioned, we will not allow a drop of oil to pass through the
strait,» he said, Fars News Agency reported.

 

«In such a situation, oil price will surge and we will see that those
who have imposed sanctions will not be able to be accountable for their
people,» he noted.

 

He noted that Iran can find new customers for oil.

 

Iran has stored up imports and hard currency for a «battle» against
EU sanctions, officials said on Sunday, the day that the measures aimed
at pressuring the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program take effect.

 

Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi said the country has stockpiled
the population’s daily needs to reduce the impact of the embargo hitting
the oil and banking sectors.

 

«Today, we are facing the heaviest of sanctions and we ask people to
help officials in this battle,» Rahimi was quoted by the IRIB News.

 

He said the «dastardly sanctions» might cause «occasional confusion»
in the market, but that the Iranian nation would not be stopped.

 

Central bank governor Mahmoud Bahmani also told the Mehr News
Agency that Iran has «plans» to deal with the embargo and enough hard
currency to meet its import needs.

And from Reuters:

Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee has drafted a
bill calling for Iran to try to stop oil tankers from shipping crude
through the Strait of Hormuz to countries that support sanctions against
it, a committee member said on Monday.

 

«There is a bill prepared in the National Security and Foreign Policy
committee of Parliament that stresses the blocking of oil tanker
traffic carrying oil to countries that have sanctioned Iran,» Iranian MP
Ibrahim Agha-Mohammadi was quoted by Iran’s parliamentary news agency
as saying.

 

«This bill has been developed as an answer to the European Union’s oil sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.»

 

Agha-Mohammadi said that 100 of Tehran’s 290 members of parliament had signed the bill as of Sunday.

If indeed willing to follow through, it surely mean Iran has at least
implicit whisper support of Russian and Chinese support when the
situation inevitably escalates.

ZeroHedge | On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Here we go:

EU SOURCES HAVE DISCUSSED IMPOSING CAPITAL CONTROLS AS WORST CASE SCENARIO IF GREECE LEAVES EUROZONE – RTRS

IMPOSING BORDER CHECKS, LIMITING ATM WITHDRAWALS ALSO PART OF WORST-CASE SCENARIO PLANNING – EU SOURCES – RTRS

SUSPENSION OF SCHENGEN ALSO DISCUSSED

In other words, that money you thought you had… You don’t really have it. We can only hope this message was not meant to restore confidence and prevent future bank runs. Because if Europe wanted a continental bank run, it may have just gotten one.

This is getting scary very fast.
