Sounds like someone is long in oil futures.

Lets see what oil futures do early this week if this story gets play.

I thought the 6th Fleet was booted out of Bahrain and replaced by the Brits...

If the Russians back the Iranians, then this could be the fuse that lights the entire keg.

The ME is in complete panic mode, and Europe is literally on the brink of a currency collapse.

This should be no fun. . .

Here is an interesting article quoting the Military head of Iran. Any opinions on what it all means?

http://peakoil.com/publicpolicy/supreme-leader-backing-of-nuclear-deal

“Iran’s military chief congratulated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for negotiators’ success in reaching a nuclear agreement with six world powers, in an open backing of President Hassan Rouhani’s government.
In praising the outcome of the talks, General Hassan Firouzabadi highlighted rifts between Rouhani and critics who say negotiations don’t serve Iran’s national interest. While Khamenei hasn’t commented publicly on the framework accord reached last week, the general’s warm words may indicate the political establishment’s official line in presenting the deal at home.”

It sounds to me as though saner heads may have prevailed against the hard liners.

Apparently, the mullahs are retarded. They threatened the same, maybe at least ten years ago. No doubt, contingencies for oil transportation to points outside of the Strait have been developed since then, and the world is swimming in cheap oil.

Dear Lord,

Let these white crackers see the error of their ways , and uplift them to knuckle under to Our Precedent’s black racial agenda for America.

In his name,

Amen.

“Another day with Obama locked in the cockpit.”

Great analogy. Sad isn’t it?!

“How can they talk for a year and a half and then come out with different texts?” said Manouchehr Mohammadi, a professor of law and political science at Tehran University.

Because somebody, somewhere is being set up for a betrayal, would be my guess.

That would be an incorrect conclusion — there are no saner heads, all of them are hardliners.

I don’t like that. Blow up Mecca and Medina yes, but the ancient centers of civilisation in Mesopotamia, Syria, Assyria, Iran, Mohenjodaro etc. — NO
