What if Iran closes the Hormuz Strait?

This is very weird, two dif­fer­ent mes­sage from two dif­fer­ent Kuwaiti newspapers:

On Kuwaiti news­pa­per Al-Jarida there is an inter­view with the head of the Gulf Coop­er­a­tion Coun­cil GCC Al-Atyah say­ing that Iran plays Saddam’s role in threat­en­ing the Gulf-States:

The fall of the for­mer Iraqi regime paved the way for the Ira­ni­ans to threaten the Gulf States to impose their dom­i­na­tion and achieve their ambi­tions, just as the pre­vi­ous [Iraqi] regime did.

But yet, on Kuwaiti news­pa­per Al-Watan there is this:

Sources told the news­pa­per about the expec­ta­tions to invite the Iran­ian pres­i­dent to attend the GCC sum­mit in Mus­cat — Oman next Feb­ru­ary to show the GCC peace­ful inten­tions towards Iran.

Does any­body remem­ber Saudi pro­pa­gan­dist Tariq Alhomayed when he crit­i­cized Syria for invit­ing Iran to the Arab sum­mit? “Why Not Let Iran Host the Arab Sum­mit?”.

A very good Eng­lish study released by The Gulf, answers the ques­tion: “What if Iran closes the Hor­muz Strait?”.

There is a very funny line shows how spoiled are the Gulf-States:

It is ironic that organic waste, par­tic­u­larly dis­carded food, accounts for up to 70 per cent of house­hold rub­bish in the Gulf. Once again, this is far above the world average.
