It would seem that Iran is in the cross hairs. Please consider the following articles:

The Real Effect
What do I believe is going to happen? Yikes. This has been a war that has been a long time coming and every time it seems that Bush is ready to pull the trigger, they put the event off.
However, I believe at this point this is going to to be the case.
Bush cannot tolerate the capture of British sailors AND Iran's involvement in Iraq/nuclear weapons. So in order to minimize casualties making the war more palatable, low-yield tactical nuclear devices dispensed by a precision air strike and special forces liberating the captured soldiers will start the event. This will force Iran to close the Straits of Hormuz which will result in incremental gas increases setting record crude prices within days. (This coupled with the proposed
$1 a gallon global warming gas tax will eventual cripple the American economy)
