It is no secret that it was our technology which built Iran. it was our universities that educated most Iranian leaders. and it was our military that supplied and trained the Iranian army. Irans only true source of stability is its oil which makes up only 4% of our consumption. and we certainly have the backbone to conserve 4% of energy rather than bow to a fanatical zealot. I was therefore. particularly pleased by our decision to cut off all oil imports from Iran. tighten dur visa requirements for Iranian students. and freeze Iranian assets in this country. Despite all this. I think the most important result from this incident is the patriotism displayed by our own people.
