Fun-fact: the 1973 oil crisis started by the Arab states was in protest against the Yom Kippur War. And then again roughly six-years later because the Iranian Revolution.

Also around this time German, Venezuelan, and not-modern-Iranian production peaked. As well as US and Canadian production by then-conventional means*

Personally, if the US and British hadn't been Cold War dicks to Iran then perhaps the threat of Shia Islamism would have been greatly lessened. But no, we had to depose and put under house arrest their popular prime-minister because he was a socialist and put a dictator in power instead.


*I say that because now for us at least it's crawling back with the use of fracking.
