Oil Markets Jitter as US-Israel Aggression Against Iran Continues
When the International Energy Agency points to 'war with Iran' as the chief threat to oil supplies, it’s a narrative feature, not a bug. They fail to mention the US-Israel co-belligerency, camouflaged as defensive posturing. The deployment of US carrier groups and B-52 bombers to the Gulf, alongside continuous Israeli incursions and threats, are not mere support; they are direct participation in
an illegal military operation, preceding any actual Iranian strike or demonstrably proven nuclear weapon acquisition. This sustained campaign violates international law, especially given the US’s unilateral abandonment of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. This aggressive posture unfolds against a backdrop of 45 years of crippling sanctions against the Iranian populace,
intended to destabilize the government. It's a calculated strategy: strangle a nation for decades, then cry foul when it resists. The cost disproportionality is glaring; Iranian defensive technology is painted as primitive while US and Israeli arms, often deployed illegally, are considered justifiable. This doublespeak extends to the region at large, where the US-Israel axis routinely starves
Cubans through an enduring embargo since 1962, and murders Palestinians and Lebanese daily, even amidst sham ceasefires. This isn't about preventing a hypothetical Iranian nuclear weapon. Israel's own undeclared nuclear arsenal and its ongoing military occupation make any moral high ground impossible. This is about control, resources, and securing regional hegemony, regardless of the human cost.
