Stand firm Iran you will win. USA is like the Mayan collapse. They will spend trillions on the military which possibly Iran will defeat with millions. BTW the Mayans imperialism was collapsing but they still kept build elaborate temples like the USA building aircraft carriers
ghtsta'WEST TENSIONS AGAINST IRAN WORSE THAN 2011 QUAKE FOR JAPAN: TANAKA Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:46PM GMT
Former executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says Western tensions against Iran could hit Japan with an economic impact greater than that from the March 2011 earthquake.
Speaking at an event in Washington sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Nobuo Tanaka said Japan will be hard hit if the tensions against Iran curb the supply of liquefied natural gas while Japan's nuclear fleet is shut.
With 20 percent of its gas and 80 percent of its oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz, Japan would face a "disastrous impact" from a crisis in the Middle East, Platts quoted Tanaka, now a global associate at Japan's Institute of Energy Economics, on Friday.
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan's main island set off a devastating tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks. The tragic event triggered one of the world’s worst nuclear disasters, crippling Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant.
selling less and gaining nothing....beyond a destroyed economy and isolation from the world is what is happening to Iran.
as Iran experiences vastly increased costs trying to market its oil.....and as its customer base shrinks and don't pay in anything but local currencies or commodities......
and when China decides that it has enough leverage to demand that steep discount in the price of the oil it buys from Iran.....

actually Iran is selling less and Saudi Arabia and the other suppliers are gaining more....
iran is just losing sales ... and customers... and revenue....and not even getting paid at all in some cases, and paid by barter in others.
