I've been curious about this for a while, and reading more and more I don't think this has anything to do with Nukes, but has to do with Russia and China. Someone could clarify for me though, this deal essentially secures all energy futures from Iran to be based on the Dollar and not Yuan, Ruble or another currency right? This would stop the Eurasian or at least inhibit the Eurasian Energy market from threatening the US Dollar's standing as the default currency in the energy market. Could the Chinese re-balancing of the Yuan have something to do with prepping for this deal as well as the increased production and additional refineries in Saudi Arabia? The latter to weaken any true position Iran might have by gaining energy market share? It feels like the nuke stuff from there was just a way to pressure us. I'm not sold that they are truly that fanatical and just use it to keep the hardline sharia folks in line as they pad their pockets with what they can get. Having Iran, Russia and China selling oil based on another currency would destroy the value of our dollar wouldn't it?
