 * Oil is discovered in Venezuela!

[1 turn later]


 * Other news: The economy is booming from tourism and oil!

Guess where that excess oil came from. You're right, VENEZUELA! But you didn't mention that you developed it and you didn't mention that it came from Venezuela. It very well could come from Texas and Texas oil industy is developed irl but it isn't capable to replace Middle Eastern oil.

''Ok so I nuked Iran, broke up its command chain, got the shah killed the destroyed Iranian morale and you just shrug it of? Bro that is shameful!''

Killing the Shah is a blow but not that hard. He wasn't very strong to begin with and he has relatives, one of which was made the new Shah. You killed some generals but many generals were near the front so damage will be felt but won't be crippling. And you didn't destroy the morale, as I explained. First of all you got nuked as well, so the situation isn't same as it was when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked. Second, destruction isn't crippling, only one-two million people died in a country of about sixty million. Third, the army isn't fighting for the Shah. The war is a jihad and also a national liberation war and a social struggle. If anything the nuclear attack made them angrier.

On the subject of the Iranian Navy

Even today, in 2019, Iran has a grand total of 0 aircraft carriers.

In 1979 irl:

It has 2 corvettes, 7 missile carriers, 6 frigates, 0 destroyers.

So the Iranian navy in the game wouldn't be much more than this

Why? I specifically developed my navy, it isn't the same situation as with your oil fields.

So do you accept my peace offer?
