Maybe the super powers will fight over our Oil-sands sooner than later. The US, China may want to take it if we like it or not.
However more likely senario would be that Iran will be eliminated as a trading partner by the rest of the world, by diplomacy, or force.
The strange thing is that India would pay with gold, although it is only in the 12th spot for gold reserves at 614.75 tons. I would think their holdings would drastically go down by paying with gold ongoing.
Just my thoughts.
