It looks like Iran is lashing out at all it's neighbors? Maybe the plan is to set the middle east on fire before they are wiped out? I have to say that Trumps actions in Venezuela may protect us from an oil shock if the middle east does go up in flames.
Zerohedge had the same article this morning. Looks like China has a "cheap oil" problem". Good for them. ;)
