this gets a little knotty, but I heard a snippet on the news, and said BP had the largest position in Iran (for oil)

so I started digging

basically "Anglo-Iranian Oil" Company Became BP

they hold 40 percent shares of the Iranian oil (that makes them a likely majority shareholder)

Consortium
After the regime change the Iranian oil started flowing again and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, which later changed its name to British Petroleum, tried to return to its old position. However "public opinion was so opposed that the new government could not permit it." Instead an international consortium under the nationalized name (National Iranian Oil Company) was created, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company being just one member and holding 40 percent of the shares. The consortium agreed to share profits on a 50-50 basis with Iran, "but not to open its books to Iranian auditors or to allow Iranians onto its board of directors."[21]

so if oil is the largest export for Iran, and BP is the largest shareholder, and BP goes bankrupt (very likely) or suffers tremendous losses

Are the Iranian people going to be forced to pay for this cleanup?

Forced liquidation of stock, meaning someone else gets control of Iran's oil for pennies?

hmmm, what else

way way back, the peoplenomics E-mail mentioned a "strange crew" showing up the gulf rig just prior , and multiple explosions, etc

Now I mentioned Mossad, in passing, because the zionists want to destroy America, and destroying our food sources is a great way to do that

But I think this will likely end up hurting Iran also.

If they split profits with Iran (50-50), well BP will post no profits for a long time, if ever again

so Iran has lost a major source of revenue, overnight

so now I am even more inclined to think it was mossad

one last item for thought, on all their supercomputers (pentagon, tel aviv, etc), they do various scenarios for attacking Iran.

Well, the price of oil will spike over $200 per barrel in that event, and Iran has some ways to export via land, meaning that Iran would benefit in some ways from disruption of oil prices.

Today that has all changed,

Iran has effectively lost its oil revenue

so even if oil goes to $200 per barrel, Iran will not benefit, BP will still be paying off lawsuits, etc
