#2 About 87% of Iran's Oil is located in a single Province. ( Iran's WALLET is hemmed by the Zagros mountains and only five roads over and that can be interdicted by air superiority from an Air Craft Carrier )This Province is located on the border with Iraq. Its population is.( The USMC can hit the coast easily and take out the ONLY N/S rail line in Iran) largely Arab and NOT Persian. Iran has a population of perhaps 70 million. 16 million are NOT Persian. In many cases there are language and cultural divisions within the Iranian body politic and Demographics. Persians are "dominant" and regard Azeris as Cockroaches for instance. Azeris resent this . That sort of thing. Also Iran is largely Shiite and "other things". Iranians are notorious for the lack of homogeneity ( shall we say) in their factions and schisms of a religious flavor. Iran is NOTORIOUS for its Islamic disputes and nit picking. Iran is a whole world of nit picking when it comes to what Isalm is all about. In a word, they argue a lot and its just a hair below the surface that they tend to hate each other for "little things" of an irritating nature concerning the smiling face of Allah. Iran is FERTILE ground for religious division. Let's just say they are always bubbling toward 212* F and anything can set it off if it just happens to be a bad day.
One out of 20 Iranians are too familiar with drugs....Pakistan raises a LOT of Poppies and even MORE are raised in Afghanistan and Sistan Province passes the refined product to the whole world ( and the Iranian military get shot up in there regularly. I think it would be safe to say that Persian writ doesn't go all that far in Sistan. Heroin is sold cheaper than a pint of milk in Iran. Smuggling is, what word shall I use RIFE in Iran. And with the Sanctions it has a very BRIGHT future. Lots of things to exploit in Iran. Not to mention the Prostitution problem outside the gates of the local madrasa Seminaries. Big graveyards near the Seminaries, and big flat stones on many of the graves. You can find "ladies" sitting on the big flat stone grave markers. Ask one if they are "lonely". Iran is an interesting place and has a few "problems". If the CIIA (bureaucratic squirrels ) weren't so incompetent they might learn to speak Farsi.
