Some truth to that but the bigger question for me is will this operation eventually cause prices to go even higher? If hostilities were to continue to ratchet up over the years, what is the liklihood that ever greater pipeline and even supertanker sabotage/destruction will take place?

We controlled Iranian oil from '53 to '79 and the jury's out on whether it was a good investment.
