Iran denounced US sanctions on its oil sector as "illegal" on Monday after the United States announced it will no longer grant sanctions exemptions to Iran's oil customers.

Talk about pushing a country to its breaking point. Prepare for more sabre rattling... or worse.
Well, that's smell as before America went to WWII. The difference is...that's "double". The nice F.D.Roosevelt cut oil to Japan which bring them to Pearl Harbor. This time is better: not only this will cut oil to China (as Japan) but cut money to Iran. That's the new version of "how to make other making mistake".
Iran cannot survive without the money of oil and have to retaliate... which can bring a good reason to America to "secure" the oil line. We easily know what next.
China cannot survive without the Iranian oil and they will be on the same situation of Japan in 1941. We shall see.
