Middle East Dominoes?

Will the Middle East destination dominoes continue to fall? Iran has scaled up its war of words, threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, if the United States and its allies introduce more sanctions on Iranian oil exports.

Tehran has also warned a U.S. carrier group not to return to the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, other media reports suggest that the U.S. and its allies are running out of options for how to deal with Iran.

The atmosphere is not conducive to a relaxing vacation or holiday environment, and if it continues to escalate will most likely impact the growing cruise traffic out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A number of ships are deployed there during the winter season with other ships calling on longer voyages.
