This is one of the main reasons it went into Iraq, where it could thwart U.S. plains to obtain cheap oil and where it could damage the oil infrastructure of a major oil producer. There is no mention of religious justifications or Prophetic precedents for attacking oil; it’s purely economic in Zadi’s analysis.

saudi arabia, et al., should squeeze every dollar and euro out of their wells that they possibly can while they can because they could be looking at a very bleak economic future.
