With Iranian unemployment now beyond 11%, inflation hovering at 50% and with half of the petroleum that they use for domestic purposes refined outside the country, it'd be more accurate to describe their position as potentially desperate. And desperation can give rise to all sorts of short-term efforts with horrendous long-term results.
