I think it's less about 'oil' and more about first or second world control of oil resources.
It would be bad to have second or first world wage demands associated with third world production of oil prices. Can't let the third world develop to quickly or else they might start to jack up their prices. Iran is getting to be too secure in their position as oil baron. Time to knock 'em down a peg and show 'em what real capitalism is all about.
