They need the price of oil to go back up, so they’re bound to try something that will create tension.

What would it take to run a pipeline from Iraq to Haifa?
It would probably have to be 20' underground.

What would it take to run a pipeline from Iraq to Haifa? About 60" pipe lengths, a lot of them. Oh and a whole bunch of shovels and labor.

I think you may be close as they probably are thinking of assisting Obama’s campaign with a little activity to blame on the Republican Administration.
Of course I don’t know what that is, but I’m certain they have considered doing something nearing the election date that would either embarrass the Republicans, or cause anxieties about “Warmongering, Neocon, Trigger-Happy” Republicans.
It’s a strong possibility.

Exactly. It is all about oil price.

And reports say that the US is keeping Israel from protecting itself from Iran? I hope those reports are not true.

It’s only 19 miles across the narrow part of the Musandam Peninsula. Maybe the oil sheiks who love big engineering projects could build an “Iran safe” canal.

Its only 19 miles across the narrow part of the Musandam Peninsula Tough place to build a canal. It is covered in mountains ~4,000 feet tall.
