Not a drop of it is from Iran. <br /><br />All crude oils have certain unique characteristics that provide a 'signature' that can reveal its origins. Israel would never dare risk using Iranian oil in the way you describe.<br /><br />Virtually all of Israel's military fuel - especially jet fuel - comes ready refined direct from the US.<br /><br /><br />Damian Lataanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886295381135372084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-44491302237668266732013-02-04T10:59:13.284+10:302013-02-04T10:59:13.284+10:30Jmo but I think Iran is also part of the US/ Israe...Jmo but I think Iran is also part of the US/ Israel/ Saudi/ NATO team. Iran is the only power in the region that can be parlayed into the necessary credible threat to Israel that facilitates Israel's ongoing aggressions; it's the cover for Israel's planned Eretz Israel. There is presently expansion into Palestine, and military activity in Syria, Lebanon, and the Sinai already. Sooner or later it will be Jordan. But Iran will always be held back as the threat until Eretz Israel is a reality.<br />Israel buys Iranian oil through European intermediaries. Would it really do that if Iran were its enemy?<br />In return Iran's government also gains the necessary enemy to help it secure its hold over its own people. People are doubtless reluctant to move strongly against their own government if they perceive some outward threat. And perhaps there are other inducements behind the scenes? Maybe one day there will be a full scale repartition of the region with a new Kurdistan. Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria all might be effected; some better, some worse?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
