Iran, OPEC's second-largest producer, has stopped conducting oil transactions in U.S. dollars, a top Oil Ministry official said Wednesday, in a concerted attempt to reduce reliance on Washington at a time of tension over Tehran's nuclear program and suspected involvement in Iraq.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's President, has called the dollar a 'worthless piece of paper.'

Well lets see, we have been targeting Iran for a few years now, and they starting dumping our dollar when?
Oh and don't be an alarmist, we are not going to get into a "nuclear war" with Iran. Iran has no nukes yet, and when they do, they will never have as many or as good of ones as us.
A "nuclear war" between us and Iran would be like a fight between a 98 pound weakling and a heavy weight. Iran might blow one up here, but we could erase them from the face of the earth if they did. So I really doubt it will happen. Iran just wants you to be afraid, and it appears it is working.
