Yes he does. And unfortunately so do the Ayatollahs in Iran. Their economy is in tatters, the "moderate" leading the government has lost all credibility and most of his support, and the hard liners are looking for an opportunity to overthrow him, blame all Iran's problems on him, and purge all moderate influences. I cannot see how we're going to avoid a war, and the economic repercussions of all out war in the Persian Gulf.
