Maybe this is why Iran is acting so cranky

Report: Iran’s Oil Exports May Disappear

Iran is suffering a staggering decline in revenue from its oil exports, and if the trend continues income could virtually disappear by 2015, according to an analysis published Monday in a journal of the National Academy of Sciences.

…If the United States can ”hold its breath” for a few years it may find Iran a much more conciliatory country, he said. And that, Stern said, is good reason to delay any instinct to take on Iran militarily.

”What they are doing to themselves is much worse than anything we could do,” he said.

Perhaps this is why Iran seems so aggressive about expanding its influence and securing itself with the Bomb.

I have been curious about the idea of Sunni’s raising their oil production to help humble Iran. It seems it may be happening anyway.
