Anonymous Coward User ID: 471485 United States 07/21/2008 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	US, UK, France launch sea exercise for naval blockade on Iran DEBKAfile Exclusive Report July 21, 2008, 11:00 PM (GMT+02:00) [link to www.debka.com] US Navy Expeditionary Combat Command unit exercises skills The White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said it expected Iran to “miss an opportunity to accept” the incentives package. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that Operational Brimstone, starting Monday, July 21, aimed at giving military teeth to the two-week ultimatum the six world powers gave Iran in Geneva Saturday to accept the suspension of uranium enrichment or face harsh sanctions and isolation. The penalty of withholding refined oil products from Iran would be exercised by means of a partial international naval blockade of its Gulf ports. Taking part in the 10-day exercise in the Atlantic Ocean are more than a dozen ships and 15,000 sailors.
