Where is Kish Island?
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=kish+island+iran&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=36.589577,77.167969&ie=UTF8&ll=27.059126,56.337891&spn=10.282267,26.499023&t=h&z=6&om=0


Not only has Iran been cut off (sub 1kb/s) - Kish Island has also been cut off from any Internet traffic - necessary for any market operations. The IOB was slated to open between Feb 1-11 and has been delayed by these cuts.

Why cut now?

Japan's Nippon Oil has agreed to buy Iranian oil in USD (September 2007). China's Zhuhai Zhenrong Corp, largest importer or Iranian oil agreed to use Euros instead of USD. China recently started diversifying their $1.3+ Trillion from USD to Euro.

In December 2007 Iran officially stopped accepting USD for their oil. The Iranian Oil Bourse will be the only global market for purchasing oil with a currency other than the USD (current markets = NYMEX, IPE).

When demand for anything in our universe goes down (i.e. US currency)
the value drops (result = bad for all countries with large USD reserves).

Why?

If countries start buying their oil via IOB (Iranian Oil Bourse)
they'll diversify (sell) their USD reserves (falling currency) into Euro (stable currency) demand for USD will drop and value will drop. China is already diversifying their massive USD reserves into Euros.

Iraq was able to sell their oil in Euro for 6 months before the US
invaded - the first order of the day after invasion was reinstating
USD Petrodollar as currency of trade for Iraqi oil. After the invasion of Baghdad, Libya (large oil reserves) surrendered to US without a fight.

They aren't tapping the four lines leading into Iran that they cut. They are tapping the one line left running. Think about it. For a while now they haven't had to monitor all of the lines just one and everybody thinks they are messing with the four they just dropped boat anchors on.

BRILLIANT!

And people say military intelligence is an oxymoron.]]>Feb 8th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/three-undersea-cables-expected-to-be-repaired-by-this-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/three-undersea-cables-expected-to-be-repaired-by-this-weekend/Feb 8th 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/three-undersea-cables-expected-to-be-repaired-by-this-weekend/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/07/three-undersea-cables-expected-to-be-repaired-by-this-weekend/
