Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

There is a desperate scramble to open the straight and declare "all is well" before the markets open tomorrow.

Crude which closed at $91 Friday is selling on secondary markets at over $110

I expect we'll see some combination of price controls, possible shorting of the oil futures, and various announcements tomorrow.

Best hope is someone with a few working brain cells has got thru to Trump and he announces an end to hostilities...
If he does, Oil will drop, but it will take weeks/months at best to stabilize.

The unknown is even if the damaged infrastructure can be fixed quickly, (no guarantees) will the players all line up on the same teams as before?

If the will of the opposing Iranian people is to miss an opportunity to overthrow the regime then it is what it will be and they'll only have themselves to blame.

Changing the perspective by changing a few words:

If the will of the European and American people is to miss an opportunity every election to stop creeping socialism and foreign invasion, they have only themselves to blame.

I let myself rip that one. I can smell it from the other side of the world.
On a more serious note, if anyone did not notice this morning, the stench from the oil burning is circulating the jet-stream. I could smell it this morning. Not kidding.
