>at the expense of US interests
occupying Iran is so much in the US interest that i doubt that r*ssia and china will allow it, because if they did, it would be over for the rest of the world. if hydrocarbons could flow from kazakhstan, turkmenistan and other stans through kaspian sea and iran into the mideterranian and into the wider world bypassing r*ssia - it would be end game for r*ssia, gulf states and china. the US and west would become so powerful and so independent of the rest of the world that it is scary to imagine what might follow that. scary for the rest of the world, i mean
