Why Iran's Seyyeds would never block the Straits of Hormuz

'We would never look to use oil as a weapon', Ahmadinejad said in response to a Thomson Financial News question.

You know, if he did use it as a weapon, that would certainly end things for all the peak oil and Seyyed supporters.  Think of this scenario.   The US and its allies have enough power in the Persian Gulf to stop and monitor any traffic through the Straits of Hormuz.  It would not take that long for the world to realize that the oil is better used if it is all piped across to the Mediterranean, Arabian Sea or Red Sea.  The price would jump, but it would fall even more, as the contingency plans would kick in, and the whole world would be in the Persian Gulf.  Heck they would seal off Iran.  Moreover there would be a huge embargo on everything Iran did, Seyyed or otherwise.  Yes the monkey knows this.  Anyway with this comment of his, he is sure to drop the insurance rates, and so the price of oil will collapse.  And he wanted the price to go up.  What a nutter.  What a laugh.

From Nuclear bluff to Regime change to Peak Oil

At a time when majority of states have understood the present realities and have the intention of publicly acknowledging the realities, certain groups of states raise hue and cry to seek concessions from the Iranian nation, added the president.

Seyyeds' Poodle could actually do well, if he played the nuclear bluff game.  But being a devout fanatic and true to his dogma , he will not budge.  He will press the button, once the Mahdi button is made.

As far as secular Iranians are concerned, he is a "has been", and well past the "sell by date".

So the only thing this poodle, and all the other trolls can do, is to hope for the US President, and those in the future, to make a big thing about the nuclear story.  But world media has figured that out, and knows that everybody yawns at it all.

That means that the world oil media industry, that wants peak oil, needs to talk more about the blocking of Straits of Hormuz, bombing of Arab refineries etc etc.  Same old boring stuff eh.  That's why I believe that the only way, is for major changes in Iran, that would then move prices really higher for the peak oil advocates.  And that will be done.  That way everyone that matters will benefit.  As a hint, think what the effects would be, if the Chinese could economically get their own oil by themselves from the very deep wells in South China Sea?  That would change their relationship with the Seyyeds.  This is dreamland territory.
