Don't forget the Straights of Hormuz.


Are those Iranians crazy enough? It just seems to me like this would be "Economic" suicide for them. Most countries don't back down for fear of death tolls but when it comes to munee they typically think twice.

Im curious to know what you think DM does if this is closed down? What will the world do since it will effect so much oil flow? Lastly, to what benefit would it be to Iran in doing so?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that Iran is somewhat like the "Fed" used to be under Greenspan's rule. Everyone was under the impression Fed could move the markets so whenever they spoke the markets moved. Since investors have figured out Feds power is limited they've recently become a non-factor. I think Iran as with many ME countries are in the same boat. They have this illusion of being able to control much of the worlds economy but if they show all of their cards they might get "figured out" so they show their teeth every few months to keep the illusion alive.

I guess the bottom line is, I don't think they will ever push it over the edge UNLESS they feel like they have no choice.

With my limited knowledge this is what I see from afar.
