Iran knows how to play this game because the Middle East is somewhat personal....they appear to be a family run oil business. IF we took oil away from the M.E. equation then it would be void..just saying. This game is slated to change becasue of the large oil discoveries taking place in Guyana and it is going to surpass what the Saudi has been touting as their "real production". Perhaps the USA needs to shift it's focus a little more to the Americas. Just adding to your comment
