What kind of blowback can we expect a year from today?

The bombing campaign that leveled Teheran occurred almost a year ago. The Iranian economy has collapsed and fuel shortages, due to a lack of refining capacity, have left the country fighting over fuel. Worldwide sanctions have cut off most imports that are needed within Iran.

What can I, burythehatchet, expect life will be like a year from today? And please, let's keep the hyperbole to a minimum.

1. If you live in Teheran, you can expect vultures from the multinationals

and want.

If you live in the United States, you can expect a mirror of what is happening in Teheran. High fuel prices, horrible housing market, more jobs lost to Nafta. But, democrats in office will be working to right what BushCo has made wrong because they swept 2008.

3. The fleet was wiped out in a heartbeat. The troops on the ground in Iraqnam

were seen being beheaded on video. Iran launched its' missiles on Israel.
Israel launched back. The Arab League joined in and the US sent in Tactical nukes,

The NeoCons had erections all year

4. You Forgot the Part About the Straits of Hormuz Being Closed Down and No Oil Coming Here

would make for a pretty cold winter.

I assume this is still hypothetical, though the Iran war could start any day now.
They know nobody can stop them.
