Yup, in and of itself it does not seem to lend itself to the military angle ... but given the reports of Syrian deployments, the movement of the Syrian archives out of Damascus, the Hamas operations in Gaza, the Hezbollah buildup, reports of Iranian missilies in Syria, increased Iranian military preps, recent war rumors out od Israel, Iranian invovlement inside Iraq and Afghanistan, and the over arching nuclear crisis, amoung other things ... it could be put in a more alarming light. It has happened before in modern military history of a nation rationing fuel before military operations.
The question, if this is the case is this; is this a case of Iranian jitters about a possible Israeli or American attack they perceive could happen soon or a case of their preparing for their own offensive operations. That is a big unknown.
