Crude Plan: Iran war & double recession?

Global oil prices are spiking as the EU says it's agreed in principle to ban imports of Iranian crude. The sanctions could come in to effect by the end of January, unless Iran backs down on its alleged nuclear weapons programme. Tehran has responded to the sanctions with threats to block oil trade through the crucial Strait of Hormuz, leading to a continued deadlock in the Persian Gulf. American warships are also present in the region, with a mission to prevent any hindrances of passage. RT talks to political analyst Christoph Hoerstel, who's in Berlin.

BS!! Who was Komayni!!? Where did he came to Iran From!? Komayni's job was what Shah said no too. Start wars, and give cheap oil to the west and in the same time buy weapons again, so that the Brits can make money again. Now they want a Big war, chances are that it will be the WW3, to do that they need IRAN to have more weapons, and more men. Today Shia rolls Iraq, and in Afganistan we have a Farsi speaking Goverment. Open your eyes and see the world as it is...

Hitler never had grab land. Up to 1937 his occupying of land was in the United Nation law.(Völkerbund)

Especially Sudentenland and so on. The War started as a Result of the Question of Danzig . England France have the animate Polen to reject Hitler's offer. The other country's would have War. Not Hitler. That is a Historical Fact. Read the Book,...... The Nemesis of Potsdam ,....u can see the Human problems witch are occure in this Time.

@spoekenkieker1 What do you mean by saying "notify" it is because you are learning English yes, notify is lets say inform or to give instruction. Is this what you meant, if so please explain? If not, then please explain...or did you mean "hear from"? because your German i will assume you mean the latter. Well they have tried twice already and lost, we never wiped them out so i expect them to rear their heads again yes of course.
