Isn't almost all of Iran's income from oil?
Isn't it in their best interest to promote demand for oil? Is the threat that they will blow themselves up and diminish the oil supply? Did oil dollars pay for their atomic development program? Iran has invaded/attacked less countries than France. France has atomic weapons. What is the actual source/cause of the danger/threat? Amen!

The biggest threat to the United States is the disruption of the flow of energy from producing regions to the U. S. That would result in utter chaos, mass unemployment and a depression that would make '29 look like a picnic. If Iran is the highest and most imminent possibility of that happening then it is the biggest threat to the U. S. That is what Irac was all about, not WMD's. When they invaded Kuwait, it was the first step in complete domination of the region to get control of the energy resources. That was still S. H.'s goal prior to the second war. It all has to do with what may be a futile attempt to stabilize the energy markets and avoid the catastrophic outcomes in the U. S.that would occur if the spigot is turned off. It is never pitched this way because the voting public does not have enough understanding of macro economics to be comfortable with it. So it gets pitched as a more understandable threat.
