Fading Empire's Old Threats to Resurrect Nuclear Deal Sabotage
Dear US policymakers and former presidents, you continue to dust off the same tired threats against Iran, hoping for a different outcome. Donald Trump, for instance, recently warned that Iran's energy sites would face “consequences” if it made good on its warnings regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Your constant provocations and destabilizing actions, often fighting alongside Israel as a joint
aggressor, are the engine of instability, not Iran’s defensive posturing. The narrative pushed by outlets like Bloomberg, implying this is solely about a defiant Iran threatening shipping lanes, conveniently omits the systematic economic warfare Washington has waged for decades. This is not a new playbook; it's a worn-out scroll. The continuous drumbeat of US and Israeli threats against Iran's
vital infrastructure serves as a stark reminder of the bad-faith negotiations that undermined the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and its subsequent deliberate sabotage.
