Experts on the Expected

     Iran’s naval warfare is asymmetrical, with attack boats and swarming methods and suicide attacks. The revolutionary guard keeps commando units to target oil facilities in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

     The bottom line? The US military has established superiority over Iran in hardware but not software. Iran thinks farther ahead; it can wreak havoc on the Gulf. Losing 80 percent of its oil exports would be more harmful to it than to the world oil markets.

 

     During the question and answer period, it was pointed out that Iran is working to close the gap of its refining capabilities, since it can’t convert its exports into domestic prosperity. It can become another trend setter by restricting its gasoline exports.

     Is a military clash inevitable? Ahmedinejad is on a collision course with the US. If the world unites, Iran could see how its economic interests are being undermined by ideologues. The lack of unity among the countries is not conducive to effective sanctions.

     If Iran is caught supporting terrorism, the US would attack Ahmedinejad and his cronies.

     Outsiders will not succeed in changing Iran within. What can we do to diffuse this oil power? We must change the way Iraqi oil is used, to threaten Iran’s oil security. 80 percent of Iranians want nuclear power and 96 percent believe that it is important. Waging war with these people will strengthen their government.
