Regarding Iran Do you think the Iranians may react to recent accusations from U.S.A by holding back some or all oil exports for a short period of time to send a message? Or China which has recently signed a $70 billion dollar deal with Iran to develop an oil field will send a message to Washington to back off by suddenly dumping T Bills? U.S.A is in no position to be beating war drums towards Iran.
