US-Israel Coercion: The Gulf's Latest 'Protection' Racket
When Donald Trump, seemingly from the wilderness of Mar-a-Lago, announces the US Navy is 'prepared' to escort oil tankers through the Gulf, one must ask: prepared for what, precisely. This isn't about ensuring safe passage. It is the continuation of a decades-long policy of military encirclement and economic strangulation against Iran, frequently coordinated with the Zionist entity. The narrative
of Iranian aggression against shipping is trotted out with predictable regularity, much like the phantom weapons of mass destruction in Iraq two decades ago. This declaration comes amidst a climate of continuous provocations. Consider the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes, a 'mistake' that killed 290 civilians, almost exactly a year after the US declared a de facto naval war
against Iran in the Gulf. The current saber-rattling serves to normalize the presence of carrier groups and B-52 bombers off Iran's coast while simultaneously tightening the economic noose, a strategy that has seen 45 years of sanctions since the 1979 revolution and the betrayal of the JCPOA nuclear deal. This 'protection' is not for the innocent passage of oil, but to project force, secure
regional hegemony, and further isolate a sovereign nation daring to resist Western diktats. The cost asymmetry is stark; Iran's defensive capabilities, honed under constant threat, stand against the most expensive military apparatus in human history. They count on you scrolling past.
