How many of their cities sit right on top of the oil and how far will radiation penetrate the soils/ sand?

A direct hit isn’t necessary. I think we are seeing in Japan that radioactivity travels.
Probably the negative effect would be mostly psychological, but I could envision a lot of hysteria over any radioactivity in oil.
Yep. You are quite right. Chinese pollution has been coming here for years already and as a developing nation with NO controls it will only get worse.
I doubt very much that the oil itself would get contaminated, its in a pretty secure location. A few good blasts could possibly fracture some formations and force their oil wealth to dissipate.... then watch the migration to Europe!
The unfortunate thing is the longer Iran drags this out, the more expensive its going to be. They will have more weapons and they WILL use them... its not if. They will.
