Is something afoot in Iran????

Oh my Brother's, what one can see on the viddy!

Iran has marshalled a fleet of supertankers to store up to 28 million barrels of crude oil in the Gulf close to its main Kharg Island crude export terminal and more supertankers are lining up.

They have done this before, when they could not find any buyers for their crude.....but thats not the case these days.

Is this an attempt to manipulate market prices? Perhaps something more sinister??? Do they know something we don't know?? Could Bin Ladin and his merry men be planning a little mayham?? Now is good time to strike!!

I love a good conspiracy theory!!

I read something about this the other day. Apparently it's not a relatively desirable grade of crude.

I would have thought this stuff would sell in preference to tar sands?

I suppose they could dump it and torch it. Would create a great smoke screen for those little speed boats of theirs.

Would a burning slick shut down the straits?

All that OR.....<br><Br>

They load silkworm missiles on full tankers and then use those tankers to take down our fleet. How much pressure would there be not to spill entire tankers full of fuel into the gulf?!?! Especially when they declare that all they want to do is escort our fleet out peacefully..... how bad would it look if the US started sinking full oil tankers?<br><Br>

It's kinda like the environmental version of hiding amongst civilians.

Here you have a friendly Iranian, they all Westernize...

In regards to the tanker build up, it is known that there are plenty of informants paid solely to report about the movements in the Straight of Hormus.

Given that the German Milk Famers currently are uncapable to unite in order to control milk prices , there is little hope that as the Arabian countries getting their supply system under control in regards to oil.

Especially when the cow(s) are slowing down in terms of production.

Could someone please close the stable door?!

Could a Tanker full of crude be made to detonate with a big enough primer?

I am exhausted from the days' events, so here goes:
Send the Enterprise over and have it activate its tractor beam!
