File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Huh? Iran gets 60% of its gasoline needs from UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran's bluster is just bluster. Take out their diesel and gas production capacity, and their war plans are gonzo. When German generals planned the Ardennes Offensive (Battle of the Bulge) they forced infantrymen to carry syphon hoses because they knew they would run short of fuel. In fact, US commanders - facing Tiger tanks with smaller Shermans - used maneuvreablity to force the enemy to burn fuel. It worked. Abandoned Tigers were used in Hollywood movies after the war. No fuel; no combat.
