    So, with tensions between Iran and the US/Israel continuing to rise, I think we might start seeing more and more in the news about Iran. So, this is a thread I've created to talk about all current events that are happening in Iran, and to talk about their political and economic implications. I am also going to make this first post a sort of catalog of headlines that I see that I find relevant. I already have two, so here you guys go:

    Suspected Cyber Attack on Iran's Oil Industry
    Half of Iran's Oil Fleet Storing Oil at Sea

    That's actually completely relevant. Because people believe that is the same virus that struck Iran's oil industry.

    While it may not be the exact same worm, it apparently had some brothers and sisters, which probably was responsible for this. With the US probably being the only nation with the resources and knowledge to produce such a powerful piece of software, and the worm apparently being tested in Israel (or so I've heard), the US was immediately being pointed at.

    Iran is clearly evil. Iran is Persia and I think we've all seen 300. I imagine that in his spare time Ahmadinejad dresses up like Xerxes and has fun with his barely clothed male servants worshiping him in a totally non homosexual way.

    Israel is just a stepping stone to conquering Athens.
    It was their plan from day one.
    And I mean literally, day. fucking. one.

    I don't see the U.S. getting into a Cold War with a regional power across the world.

    Iran will get a nuke no matter what, but I don't think it is going to cause all out super war.

    It's more Iran and Israel in a Cold War, not the U.S.
