“Iran’s energy minister told Al-Jazeera television last month that Tehran could use oil as a political tool in the event of any future conflict.”

I don’t know... did the US ever use grain as a tool when the rest of the world was starving?????

We’re Christian so we don’t use food as a weapon.

As for Iran, they really only have one other international commercial commodity tha petroleum, and that is pistachio nuts.

If Iran tries to boycott oil to the rest of the world, it hurts them more than it inconveniences anyone else.

These people running Iran are not too smart.
