It seems Iran, the worlds fourth largest exporter of oil and holder of 10% of the current world proven reserves, may run dry in ten to fifteen years.
What this means for America could be just about anything. We could see Iran destabilize into a refuge for terrorists and chaos. We could see Iran trying to develop nuclear weapons to make money much like North Korea. Or we could see a great humanitarian crisis brought on by the sudden and drastic decrease in oil revenue. None of which are good for anyone. This is what happens when you are a one crop farmer and the farm has a bad year.
