Iran cannot get their oil out of their country fast enough. Iran's oil storage facilities are filling up, as evidenced by them bringing in derelict tankers just to temporarily store oil. If they have to start capping wells, they will almost certainly never produce at the same rate again, if they can start the flow at all since capping typically damages the well to some extent. If it comes to that, Iran will be permanently diminished. Hard to see how Iran will come out of this a winner as the article projects. You need money to pay for a war.
