No, my tendency is to look for more subtle strategy, its all economics & vying for future spheres of influence. Iranian religious leaders weren't caving into the sanctions, so what time would've been better to lessen most access to cash than now with fallen $40/barrel oil? They are very smart fellows who hung in there , while we spent over 2trillion in the region with very little to show.

Hopefully they'll burn thru that cash, oil will rebound at some point, we are fragile enough as it is.
