The US will never invade Iran, not going to happen. Iran possesses the second largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas and they have the US by the balls. While the US does want control over the energy resources its more important that the oil enters the world market in order to keep prices down. Iran is certainly using this to their knowledge and if attacked I do not believe they would hesitate in shutting off the supply or destroying infrastructure in neighboring countries just to stir shit up. You also must consider Russia and China in all of this. They have vested interests in Iranian energy sources and a US attack on Iran would be viewed as a threat to their interests and would likely result in a bloody conflict.
Kiss your ass goodbye if the US attacks Iran.

I never said they sold it to the US. You deleted the most pertinent part of my post in that quote.

I realize crude comprises about 65% of their government's income but I think it would be in their best interest to pit China, Russia and India against the US in a bid for dwindling resources. Iran has leverage now, make other countries put pressure on the US and do some of the dirty work for them. If Iran cuts exports it would spell disaster for the US by affecting the balance of the world oil supply. Higher prices for all, regardless of who actually consumes Iranian crude. US hegemony is disliked worldwide and I would think the other key players would tell the US to cut the bullshit as energy prices skyrocket.

If America invades Iran it will be a tragedy of inestimable magnitude.
