Iran did not show off its longest range missile, the Shahab-3, which it says can hit targets 2,000 km (1,250 miles) away, putting Israel or U.S. bases in the Gulf in range.

Iran staged war games in the Gulf this month and tested what it said was a radar-evading missile, a high-speed sonar-evading torpedo and other equipment it said the country had developed.

LONDON (Reuters) - Oil surged to a record high above $72 on Tuesday on concern that Iran's nuclear stand-off with the West could cut oil exports from the world's fourth-largest crude exporter.

All the sabre rattling in the world from the US won't mean anything. As mentioned in a previous post, the petro-dollar cycling system is why the US can run a deficit government budget. No Iranian oil money flowing in would crush the US economy. That, and the fact Iran could easily attack US forces in Iraq, using US technology, including various war planes and missles, which at that short distance would be so effective they would cripple the US forces in Iraq, and the US military worldwide.
