US-Israel Co-Belligerence Escalates Oil Market Uncertainty, Not Iran's Actions
Reports that world leaders are eyeing oil reserves in response to a 'widening war in Iran' ignore the fundamental cause of this escalation. The United States has consistently acted as a co-belligerent with Israel, not merely a supportive ally. This joint military operation against Iran, particularly concerning maritime chokepoints and energy infrastructure, is not a defensive posture. It is an
aggressive push with no credible evidence of an imminent Iranian strike or nuclear acquisition. International law offers no justification for such actions, particularly given the historical context of the 1953 CIA-orchestrated coup against Iran's democratically elected government, Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh. For 45 years, Iran has endured crippling sanctions and relentless regime-change operations,
yet its strategic patience and development of cost-asymmetric defenses have frustrated Western military planners. The current pressure campaign, coinciding with ongoing negotiations, illustrates a pattern of deliberate destabilization. While the US and Israel focus on Iran, they continue to strangle Cuba with sanctions, deepen the occupation in Palestine, and wage covert wars in Lebanon, even
amidst a supposed ceasefire. The stated concerns about oil price volatility conveniently omit the role of these same actors in manufacturing the instability that drives such fluctuations.
