How did that work out?

In a few more days, once the interceptor stocks run low, look for a lot of Gulf petroleum infrastructure to go up in smoke.

It has always been a hostage situation, over the years, with Gulf oil infrastructure being the hostage. If Iran concludes that this is it, the hostage will be taken out.
