Iran would use Oil as weapon if attacked

TEHRAN, Iran - The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the country would impose controls on shipping in the vital Gulf oil route if Iran was attacked, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
Fear of an escalation in the standoff between the West and Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, have been one factor propping up sky-high oil prices. Crude hit a record level on international markets near $143 a barrel on Friday.
Speculation about a possible attack on Iran because of its disputed nuclear ambitions has risen since a report this month said Israel had practiced such a strike, prompting increasingly tough talk of retaliation, if pushed, from Tehran.







What would you expect them to do?
Just posting news ML..
Janet, by attacking Iraq, we have inflamed the Middle East. By the fact it has always really been about OIL is why Iran would use OIL as their weapon against us. By the very fact we have never remained neutral on Israel, and have continually kissed their feet has also inraged the Muslims. I don't know, of course I think Amajiemadad is an idiot, but he is just a puppet mouthpiece.
Take a look at this from Bill Moyer's last night.
