He who always waits for formalities being fulfilled and paperwork catching up with reality, will often find that he comes too late. And Iran, mind you, is said to me seriously strangled by those sanctions. I say since years that nevertheless they will not give up their weapon program. Using such desperate and devastating means like artifical oil plagues, just illustrates that and, from my view, make sense when assuming they will not give up there program but will fight it through, no matter what.
So what do you want them to do with this information exactly, go to war with Iran?, and whose going to pick up the bill, are you? and will that fix the problem?
Or could some terrorist jerk just hijack another tanker and crash it later anyway (once he figured out that its a good idea?)
Sometimes its better to roll with the punches, even if that means (god forbid) living with 35% less oil for a little while.

Thats fine but in this case we still dont actually know for sure that there is actually a traffic light.
