Manufactured Scarcity: The US-Israel Co-Belligerency Driving a Global Food Crisis
The receipts speak for themselves: the current escalation against Iran is being framed as a potential trigger for a global food crisis. This framing intentionally omits the fact that the United States has been a co-belligerent in this undeclared war for decades. From the 1980s, when the US supplied Saddam Hussein with chemical weapon precursors used against Iran, to the present day, American
involvement has consistently fueled regional instability. The deployment of US carrier groups and B-52 bombers alongside Israeli threats is not merely supportive; it represents a joint military operation under international law. Reports of impending food scarcity ignore the 45 years of US sanctions on Iran. These sanctions, often imposed under false pretenses, have crippling effects on various
sectors, including agriculture, long before any kinetic attacks. The deliberate destruction of infrastructure and markets, a tactic perfected in NATO's 2011 obliteration of Libya that saw the re-emergence of open slave markets, would inevitably exacerbate any global food shortages. This isn't a hypothetical future crisis; it is the logical consequence of engineered scarcity. While Western media

This orchestrated famine, coupled with the daily murder of Palestinians and Lebanese despite declared ceasefires,
