There were some refinery shutdowns in the last couple of weeks too.Beating the wardrums on Iran is so absolutely stupid. The Iranian leadership is in trouble, let them hang themselves. Outsiders getting involved just makes the people ralley around their government.And if the US had trouble with 26M Iraqis. How do you think they're going to manage 76M Iranians?
It's shaping up to be a bad scene for sure.

They can't, this is a country that hasn't been conquered for more than a thousand years. Israel will send some planes and rockets, with US support but that's pretty much it. If Israel gets lucky, the Arabs around it won't attack it - although Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Arabs inside Israel will retaliate. If they don't get lucky and I think they won't, lots of Syrians have weapons now, as do the Lebanese, the Arabs will stop fighting each other and together fight Israel once again.
...the Arabs will stop fighting each other ....

The arabs arent exactly the best at organizing themselves, but to strike against Israel, someone might break out Microsoft Excel and make some lists. THis is horrid.....all I see is me in a subcompact by next summer......
