Iran denies involvement in Bahrain pipeline attack
Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran –  Iran has denied allegations it was behind a militant attack on a pipeline outside Bahrain's capital.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi was quoted by the state-run IRNA news agency Sunday as rejecting the "baseless and fake claims" and "childish finger-pointing" from Bahraini authorities.

Bahrain has been combatting a low-level insurgency since the Sunni monarchy quashed a 2011 Arab Spring uprising led by majority Shiites.

Things appear to be ratcheting up.
But I still suspect a smokescreen.

I’d love to see the Iranians and Saudis get into a mutually destructive, protracted conflict, if it didn’t mean skyrocketing fuel prices.  Unfortunately, that’s impossible.

I'd pay the higher prices to see both nations fundamentally destroy each other.

In time, prices would work their way back down.

But perhaps "the cost" would be worth getting rid of both of those countries!
