I know of the 1973 Oil Embargo/Crisis when the members of Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries or the OAPEC (consisting of the Arab members of OPEC, plus Egypt, Syria and Tunisia) proclaimed an oil embargo "in response to the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military" during the Yom Kippur war that lasted until March 1974.
Meddling by US government in the middle east goes way farther back than that. What you're talking here is continuation of something that started more than a half century before that time.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I got a little thrill up my leg when I read this story. Gibbs on Mubarak:
When asked whether the US supports Mubarak in Egypt, Gibbs instead declared support for Egypt and support for universal rights. Doesn't this administration remember what happened to Carter and Iran? The Muslim Brotherhood is restlessly waiting in the wings to grab power in Egypt. Is this administration prepared to see the loss of the Suez Canal and Israel again threatened by Egypt?

I'm glad not all administrations are sold on the idea that they must comply unconditionally with Israel, regardless of threats of consequences.

Iran is helping to recreate Persia and control all the middle Eastern oil.
How do you think they will choke us.
Remember the heritage of who you speak. It is all about revenge when you talk anything Muslim.
Are we going to be brought into a holy war in the middle east??
Why are we getting farther and farther involved in Yemen?
Why are we heavily arming the Saudi's.
Is the kingdom of Persia, going to reemerge?
Ever since Mohammad was poisoned, 1354 years ago, there has been a fight over who is the real Muslim people.
Is Iran posing itself to shut off Saudi oil to the rest of the world?
Will we see $200-$300-$400 a barrel oil if a major war breaks out in the Middle East?
Are we being drawn in as we speak?
Well, it is documented the Arab Emeritus and Saudi Arabia just spent a fortune on defense and weapons.
It is also documented we are in Yemen and also on high alert protecting the Bab el-Mandeb straight, from the Gulf of Aden.
Along with the Gulf of Oman, protecting the Straights of Hormuz.
Will Iran, getting the ability to launch nuclear weapons on Israel, be the signal for the war to start?
Sunni's and Shia's, are fixing to lock horns. Not today, maybe not tomorrow or next week, but Iran getting nuclear is going to be very significant in a holy war unlike ever seen in the world.
HI dear me joining newly and want to say that the holy war in the middle east is being started due to the fact that we are going far from the lesson's of our holy Prophet and holy book. If we act upon their advices and adopt their way of life we will never face like this kind of war...

Face it people the thing that fuels the engine called the USA is oil.
If war breaks out over there over Shia and Sunni domination.
We in the USA could see the biggest depression ever known to a civilization. We will be scrambling to find reserves in other nations to suck off of and that still won't be enough.
$7-$10 a gallon, coming to a station near you.
Road Warriors, only in America.
Kinda gives "Snakeoil" a whole new meaning.
