Iran Suffering from Own Version of Peak Oil

By Byron King

Iran is suffering from its own version of Peak Oil. Iranian net exports of oil are falling. Iran’s oil infrastructure is aging. According to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the trend is that Iran will be exporting ZERO oil by 2014, which is a mere five years from now. That means almost no serious money will be coming in for the Iranian leadership and government.
So if you think that they’re rioting in the streets of Iran now, just wait awhile. Iran is headed for national insolvency and penury. It’ll get even more exciting. Then again, the Iranians may have nuclear weapons. Pretty depressing, huh? Better buy that gold while you can.
