Iran has threatened to close the Gulf and carried out a wide range of large military exercises to show its capabilities. And Iran has steadily increased its ability to exploit the threat of conventional and asymmetric warfare to maritime traffic in the Gulf. The buildup of Iran's naval, air, and missile capabilities poses a wide range of threats to maritime traffic into and outside of the Gulf. One potential target of this threat is the steady increase in bulk cargo shipments into the Gulf, Arabia Sea/Gulf of Oman, and Red Seas -- shipments that are of steadily growing strategic importance to each of the other the Gulf states"--Publisher's web site. 606 $aAir power$zIran 606 $aAsymmetric warfare$zIran 606 $aBallistic missiles$zIran 606 $aSea-power$zIran 607 $aIran$xArmed Forces 607 $aIran$2fast 615 0$aAir power 615 0$aAsymmetric warfare 615 0$aBallistic missiles 615 0$aSea-power 676 $a359 700 $aCordesman$b Anthony H.$0567761 702 $aLin$b Aaron 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828988303321 996 $aThe Iranian sea-air-missile threat to Gulf shipping$94004474 997 $aUNINA
