OilPrice.com: U.S. On The Hunt For Iranian “Ghost Tankers”
When Washington announced the return of economic sanctions against Iran, the main idea was pretty clear: cut exports of vital oil to zero to paralyze the economy and prompt a change in government. Waivers followed, however, as well as reports that, despite the sanctions, Iran was shipping more oil abroad than the amounts allowed under the waivers.
Oil data provider TankerTrackers.com first reported last year that Iranian tankers were turning off their transponders to hide the destination of their journeys.

Surely Obama's 1.3 or 1.5 billion could not have goosed a 440 billion to 600 billion economy that much.

But Iran's GDP is falling to negative growth rate without Obama. I have to say this. At least Obama can get some country's GDP growth rate to be more than 3%.

Inflation rate is spiking.
GDP growth down, Interest rate spiking. Looks like a death cross. The mullahs in dirty robes who stone women are looking to ride this out until 2020, when a gullible Democrat will come to their rescue and give them some moollah.
