Reuters/Haaretz: Israel Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz comes under domestic criticism for "political" Iran comments:

There was agreement from Yedioth's economic analyst, Sever Plotzker, who suggested that Mofaz was, paradoxically, giving a back-end boost to Iran -- the world fourth-biggest oil producer:

"Blathering away about how 'we'll attack and destroy you' does not deter the decision-makers in Tehran, but it does drive the oil markets crazy ... And who profits from that? Tehran."
