This will likely be cause for a civil war in Iran, where the Mullahs vie for the position of Supreme Leader.

I'm not so sure it would get that bad. That's why preparations are being made now. Their hierarchy is very complicated and there are a lot of tit for tat internal plays for sure. They are fractured just like our congress. I suppose some factions could square off and that could start a civil war, but I don't think there's a high probability of it escalating to that level.

But these things are constantly changing too, which is why intel is so important.

Of worse consequence for Iran is that three of their nuclear scientists defected recently. That's gotta be making them nervous as our intel just got a whole lot better.

Thanks for sharing the Stratfor Analyses, they help give us a more worldly view of wnat forces could be playing on the world economy and possible stressors. Though they rarely have an immediate impact, it's more how things may face off down the road.
