Israel is irrelevant. The Shah had a special arrangement with the Nixon administration; they allowed him to push oil prices as high as he wanted as long as he recycled the petrodollars in US economy through arms purchases, treasuries and banks. Even though the high oil prices almost bankrupted Europe.We share tech with them like Shahi Iran was doing joint projects or early IRI copperated on IRIAF parts, Osirak attack etc. They only have ALBMs, some SOWs and obsolete expensive Jericho for strategic strike. Would not they like underground missile cities with thousands of Fattah HGVs, Kheybar Shikans, K-4s, Sejjil-IIs at their disposal to scare their enemy of conventional MAD.
IRI cant manipulate oil prices like the shah did. But if the US somehow manages to pull Iran into its sphere of influence and gets PGCC on board. They get their answer to countering China.
