#1 Which may explain reports why Iran is allegedly now suffering from high rates of nationwide inflation.

#2 Russians, etc insist on payment in dollars. That is why they abandoned projects in the Ayatollah tyranny. Iran's mullahs are about ready for plucking.

#3 That's why we went to war with Japan. They were trying to set up a non US denominated oil bourse (memo to self, google conspiracy bourse black lace) and forced Roosenfiend to set up the attack on Pearl.

#4 Of oily bourse yea, but a better course would be to press Iran into an Oil Tontine with us, then before they wise up we disappear the key Iranian participants. sure not very nice but hey the A$$atollahs aren't either.

#5 the dollar doing the classic rope a dope.

When events dictate the dollar will rise rapidly, all these "other currencies in hand will become near worthless and the buying power of the iranian state will have weakened even more than it is.

iran has a leadership crisis which wont be resolved because the two factions communists and mullah are independent control units with no ability to take input from anyone....hence failure is inevitable.
