US Sanctions Iranian Oil, Finds Courage to Punish Allies
While Washington, D.C., busies itself 'cracking down' on distant oil shipments, the same policymakers continue to greenlight Saudi Aramco, which, according to their own reports, is pouring billions into further destabilizing fossil fuel projects globally. (Funny how 'malign influence' only applies to some oil exporters.) The U.S. narrative conveniently omits the fact that this 'nuclear program'
concern always seems to escalate when Iran moves oil, not when a regional ally makes thinly veiled nuclear threats. One might wonder if the concern is less about proliferation and more about who controls the spigots. This isn't about peace; it's about control. Sanctioning Iranian oil while simultaneously enabling other oil-rich, human rights-abusing regimes (who, incidentally, buy truckloads of US
weaponry) isn't foreign policy; it's a protection racket. The audacity of Washington to lecture the world on stability while fueling conflicts with arms sales to one side and sanctions on the other truly raises questions about their sincerity. How many 'proxies' does it take before we realize the main player is the one pulling the purse strings?
