Iran Threatens to Use Oil as Weapon

The Chief negotiator for Iran in regard to Iran going nuclear is Ali Larijani. Larijani has basically told the UN that Iran will not comply in any form to UN or Western demands to stop building nuclear capability in Iran.

Larijani still sticks to the story that the Iranian agenda to acquire nuclear power is purely for civilian use. Now that is a load of camel dung.

Larijani has threatened to use oil as a weapon if the UN imposes sanctions on Iran. That is a frightening thought to much of the West, particularly those of the European persuasion.

The Richard Beeston correctly points out that using oil as an economic weapon flows both ways. Oil accounts for 80% Iran's export earnings, Beeston submits that withholding oil could cause an economic collapse for Iran. The pain would flow both ways as Iran attempts to put the glow of nuclear power into their nation.

I am certain that nuclear glow is something that would export harshly and forcefully to anyone that does not see things Iran's way.
