The Iran Pipeline Plot: Bombed for Oil?

Was the bombing of Iran really about national security?
Or was it a pipeline power grab hiding in plain sight?

Gulf States rely on risky sea routes to ship oil to Europe. But a land pipeline through Iran could double profits—and control. The only thing in the way? Iran's independence.

Destabilize the regime. Lay the pipe. Control the flow.

Some say this was always the endgame.

What do you think?
