the gambit, the prize, the plan - for Iran

From globalsecurity
I found the following information (summarized by me)

Bushehr - in Khuzestan - is not only home of Bushehr Nuclear facility but is also the location of Iran's nuclear energy college. In addition it is one of Iran's major cities and chief ports.

The mountains of Zagros are natural palisades that defend Iran from Iraq.

Khuzestan is the only large flat piece of land west of the Zargos mountains.

If bushco hits Iran here they could quickly take Khuzestan. they would control 90% of Iran's oil and substantial portions of the country's water supply/electrical capacity.  (30% of Iran's surface water supply is located in Khuzestan)  
For it's natural resources and location Khuzestan is pivotal to Iran's economy and accessability to the outside world.
Iran announced in 1999 "the largest oil discovery in 30 years" found in Azadegan in southwestern Khuzestan - a few miles east of the border with Iraq.
In '04 Iran's oil minister announced that the country's oil reserves had increased again with new discoveries in Khuzestan.

As you can see this region would be their logical next step....
Anex 90% of Iran's oil the prize
Destroy 2 of "Iran's weapons of mass destruction threats" the cover
Protect a large section of the Persian Gulf's oil routes [Iran's threat to block passage by sinking boats if hit by US]
& severely cripple any Iranian petro euro cartel. planned to open in March [the real reason]
cripple Iran economically and militarily by denying it the control of it's oil. [& water & electricity]

& besides - it's already named after him. [bushehr....bush here]
