I am aware of the clout behind the potential move to Euro Dollars. Most of the OPEC nations favor the Euro. Putin favors the Euro as well. Iran does not sell oil directly to the U.S. But oil is fungible. A barrel from Iran is much the same as one produced in Saudi Arabia. Oil speculators drive the cost of oil up on world markets. I object to rich sheiks, that made money selling oil to Shell, playing speculator again with the world oil market. Arab bankers, private hedge funds, and people like Soros make tons of money speculating in oil futures. That is like double dipping for fun and profits.

The Ohio SSGN conversions carry Tomahawk cruise missiles. I think what they are talking about here is a conventionally armed Trident missile. The difference being that the Tridents fly a ballistic course while the Tomahawks fly an Earth hugging course.

London: The United States is drawing up plans for bombing raids backed by submarine-launched ballistic missile attacks against Iran's nuclear sites as a 'last resort' to block Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, a media report said today. No. If we use missiles it will be SLCMs from such as USS Ohio, just converted from a ballistic missile sub to a cruise missile sub.

Good point!
I am not an economist and I didn't spend the night in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but my memory tells me that virtually NOTHING the experts predict EVER comes out the way they expected. Sometimes the outcome is worse, sometimes it's better, but it's usually an unexpected outcome. We need to decide what outcome is in the best interest of the U S of A and then set about to assure that outcome, regardless of how it affects our friends or our enemies. No one is going to look out for our best interests and if something needs to be done then we best get busy and get it done!

This is news? The US has had plans on the books to attack Iran for many, many years.
Of course the plans are updated as times change and military tactics and sites change.
I mean, really, this is news? To who?

But I wonder who is leaking and why the leaks?IMO, probably the Administration, to ratchet-up the pressure on the Iranian regime, in an effort to get them to make the first move.

By "submarine-launched ballistic missles"I presume they mean The Big Ones(not cruise-missles)?

Iran does not respond well to diplomatic pressure. Already, they are making very aggressive covert moves in Iraq. They have teamed up with Syria to spread ill will all across the Muslim world. Next weekend, London will awaken to 100,000 chanting Islamics demonstrating against a stupid cartoon. Wait, watch, listen. Oil will be priced at $ 75 bbl very soon. Then you will hear griping from all those idiots who bought an SUV with equity money they got by refinancing their homes.

Agreed. That piece read like an 8th graders summary of "David Copperfield", produced using Cliff Notes and internet resources.

I'm sure there's more than just US with a plan. Distasteful but has to be done, I'm betting.

Truman knew what had to be done 50 years ago. Truman should've nuked Stalin in '46.
There would be NO commies left anywhere if he had done this. (China would've been scared shitless, no Korea, no Vietnam, no need for a Euroweenie peace movement, no Gramsci-inspired infiltration of US culture...
Talk about your peace dividends!
