Iran already has long range weapons, what they don’t have Is a nuclear war head to bolt on the front.
China has sold missiles to Iran since the 1980,s as the years went by these missiles increased in distance,
in 2004 Iran is suspected of buying 9 of these.
Although their Korean missiles it was leaked in 2010 that china was the supplier to Iran, but china took delivery off Korea.
America couldn’t impose sanctions on Iran because MR Obama had just sold 1.7 trillion dollars worth of debt to the chinese government.
The Chinese government Is currently buying $35 billion of debt at each session ( 3 sessions a week )and has been since june 2011,
when this figure hits $3 trillion and it will in the next 18months the interest will eventually out strip the repayments,
America needs this war more than ever its skint, and cannot continue to sell its debt at the rate it is doing so.
America oil companies pump out 1.5 million barrels of oil a day in Iraq.
In 1998 Dick Cheney and his buddies decided to build a gas pipe line, the only down side was it had to run through Afghanistan. Cue 2001 invasion.
This pipe line runs from Pakistan into Afghanistan, then has to go round IRAN into Turkmenistan, when it is then connected to the oil in Iraq,and then out through Israeli port.
American oil companies are trying to build a pipeline from Libya through Egypt, into Israeli ports where it can be connected to the pipe line leaving Iraq.
If America could some how find a way to connect Iran to the pipe line then its got a hat rick of oilfields
Then America can start the process of buying back its debt before China put the interest rate up.
Oil and War equals profit.
