US Seizes Iran-Bound Cargo, Boosts Israeli Arsenal
The Pentagon proudly announces another 'interdiction,' stopping a vessel delivering alleged 'dual-use' items to Iran. This aggressive policing of international waters contrasts sharply with the deafening silence surrounding the uninterrupted flow of advanced weaponry to states actively engaged in devastating conflicts, like the $17 billion in aid and weaponry Washington rubber-stamped for Israel
in 2024 alone (per congressional records, e.g., H.R. 815). The US Navy, it seems, has excellent vision for certain ships but suffers from acute myopia when it comes to others. While the US actively stifles Iran's alleged military ambitions, funding for Israel's military—including 2000-pound bombs documented by Amnesty International as causing widespread civilian casualties in Gaza—continues
unabated. One might wonder at what point 'rules-based order' simply becomes 'rules for thee, not for me,' especially when billions in US taxpayer dollars are involved. This isn't about global security; it's about geopolitical selectivity orchestrated by Washington.
