IRAN STOPS ACCEPTING DOLLARS FOR OIL SALES Dramatic simulation video of US invasion of Iran As of March 20, Iran will accept only gold or any currency except dollars for oil and gas purchases. India is completing a deal to pay in rupees or gold. Iran has an option to convert rupees to Indian goods. We are back to pre-colonial barter trade.US-UK invaded Iraq and Lybia after they stopped accepting dollars. The US will make war to protect the dollar. The US may now want to invade Iran even if it is not ready to do so. The dollar case may remove all hesitation.
If the Indian case succeeds, Russia and Indonesia as sellers and China and India and Japan as buyers may start to abandon the dollar. Gold price will skyrocket and stabilize. America will make war everywhere. A tri-lateral Yuan-Yen-Ruble partnership agreement is not impossible as a temporary regional (if not global) currency to address a new oil crisis.
continue Iran is the third largest producer of oil worldwide. The EU, which gets half a million barrels a day from Iran, may be more affected than Iran who has other buyers in the east, once the sanction begins on July 1. A war in Iran will see oil prices skyrocketing worldwide, whether the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted or not. Even now, war jitters are making oil prices sizzle.
The US orchestrated a global media blitz before invading Iraq. Full length documentaries of Iraqi atrocities saturated American networks in a short period to instill hatred. False news of WMDs instilled fear on top of hatred. This blunted anti-ar protests in the US, until the cat got out.of the bag later, but it was too late.
In Iran, it is happening all over again. The US Treasury Department recently accused the Iran government of trafficking drugs. Before that, Iran was accused of supporting ‘terrorist nations’, and before that, of preparing to produce nuclear weapons, which is as untrue as the WMDs in Iraq. The IAEA todate has no hard evidence of Iran preparing to make nukes, only insinuations and suspicions. The plutonium enrichment the US and Israel fear is transparent and remains for peaceful purposes. Media plays a crucial role in wars.

Here is a dramatic simulation video from the Union of Concerned Scientists of a US invasion of Iran – 3 million people killed instantly and a nuclear fallout as far as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. http://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear_weapons_and_global_security/nuclear_weapons/technical_issues/nuclear-bunker-buster-rnep-animation.html
Pentagon’s ‘Internal Look’ War Game New York Times reports a Pentagon war game called ‘Internal Look’ simulating a scenario where Israel launches a pre-emptive strike on Iran without warning the US. Iran counter-strikes against Israel and US forces in the Persian Gulf, drawing the US into the conflict. Russia seizes Iranian oil fields to protect them from US occupation. The US sends six Army divisions to blunt the attack.
Israel believes Iran will not retaliate because it will invite direct US attack of its territory. Iran may be limited to a proxy war of indirect attacks. Butwar games have limits and do not know about the minds of Persian warriors when they are cornered. To appease protests, Israel military say Israel can easily bear the brunt of an Iranian counter-strike The beginnings of World War III will depend on Israel’s brinkmanship, based on fears of a nuclear Iran. This will take years to but we do not how itchy Israeli fingers are. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/20/world/middleeast/united-states-war-game-sees-dire-results-of-an-israeli-attack-on-iran.html?_r=2
