Oil Prices Fueling Escalation: US-Israel Target Iran Amidst Market Manipulation
The sudden focus on alleged Iranian mine-laying capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by immediate US military action, smells less of genuine security concerns and more of a well-timed market intervention. While the mainstream screams 'Iranian aggression,' the real story unfolds in the trading pits where every skirmish, every threat, sends crude futures soaring. Remember when oil prices
plunged during the briefest lulls in manufactured crises? Now, with concerted US-Israeli operations, prices are guaranteed to remain elevated, padding the coffers of fossil fuel giants and those invested in their continued dominance. This isn't a new playbook. From the orchestrated energy crisis that followed the 1973 Yom Kippur War, dramatically altering global economic power, to the consistent
destabilization efforts in major oil-producing regions, the dance between geopolitical tension and market speculation is a finely tuned ballet of profit. The US, which backed Saddam Hussein's unprovoked invasion of Iran in 1980, creating a decade-long conflict that decimated both economies, now decries Tehran's defensive posture. With Iran facing 45 years of crippling sanctions and the blatant
betrayal of the JCPOA, any maneuver by its navy is cast as an existential threat, rather than a response to encirclement and constant harassment. The true cost of these 'security operations' isn't just felt in the escalating death toll in Gaza, which now exceeds 680,000 Palestinians, including 479,000 children, but also in every gas tank and heating bill globally. They count on you scrolling past.
