Well Rabbit ,that would depends on how long your government is willing to pay them not to and how long they are willing to do your governments bidding . If the Iraqi oil flow continues to decline at its present rate and the murrage costs get too high in relation to the returns then your government may decide that it doesn't really matter if the Persian Gulf is closed to all shipping .
Then again they will have to pay for full mobilisation on the Northern front to deal with Irans Proxy Army and the Western and Southern fronts to cope with the same .
Oh how the taxpayer suffers .
You act as though we'd stop paying them if they attacked Iran.

Very true. He seems to forget that the country he's threatening with annihilation has nuclear weapons and isn't afraid to act unilaterally.
