    BP was just the company getting the oil. The US and Britain wanted a destabilized Middle East, the govt’s are to blame.

    Now the US fell into a trap. Now they have had to remove sanctions on Iranian oil and Iran has started selling their oil for more money and in Chinese Yuan. They are making money on every barrel they allow through the strait and like it or not they are now a rising world power in opposition to a power in decline, the USA. I hope that that new world power will not be too cruel to it’s people and others but with the position they have been in for the last 60 years, I can’t really blame them if they are a cruel power to those in power in the region.

    I don’t support them being brutal towards those who took them down so long ago and their allies but I’m not surprised.
