It is very likely that the real numbers are vastly different because there are still lots of ways for Iran to sell oil without records. So much oil transits the earth, it is easy for shiploads to "magically" appear coming form someplace besides Iran.

Give time for the sanctions. Make war plans, make defeat plans, make "what should i do after i win" plan. Don't repeat Iraq mistake. And also, focus 500% on Syria. When Assad falls, you can bet your ASS that there will a SPRING in Iran. Persian Spring ! Focus on making Iran poor. The people of Iran WILL NOT be willing to DIE and sacrifice for the illegitimate regime of Iran. If you give them a gun, and give them a choice to shoot ayatollah khomenei or to fight for him, you can bet your entire saving he'll shoot Khomenei. Only the hezbollah and shabiha and shia fanatics supports that ayatollah. Bring down Assad, be prepared for Assad shooting missiles in desperation.

it will not stop iran, only embolden them. A NATO lead targeted attack on its nuclear facilities is the ONLY solution. Time for the Europeans to rejoin the vanguard in the defense of the Free world and stop Iran.

Stated SANCTIONS Have No Effect on the ILLEGAL regime in tehran! We ( persian arabs) can stay the coarse for 3 years or More! SO LET'S STRANGLE THEM FOR A MINIMUM of 4-5 years, Until the little bearded says, UNCLE?

are you an iranian living presently in iran? i agree with you, though.

The Regime has WEEKS not months till the economy implodes and desperate shortages feed into their supply chains They have no choice BUT to do what they have threatened. Seize hold of the Hormuz. What a prize that would be The calculation is simple..How long before the world panics about oil supplies and cave in to all their demands including their claims on the Gulf Bahrein South East Iraq and Lebanon? Would the world community react decisively or as they expect simply turn a blind eye in complete appeasement
