War for Oil: US-Israel Attack on Iran Framed as Solution for Gas Prices
When White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared that a war with Iran would “lower gas prices in the long term” for Americans, the statement offered a chilling glimpse into the administration's rationale for ongoing military aggression. This came ten days into sustained US and Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran, a clear act of joint belligerence, not merely supportive action from
Washington. This framing conveniently ignores the illegality under international law, the consistent betrayal of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and 45 years of crippling sanctions that preceded these strikes. The current narrative echoes a disturbing historical pattern. In 1954, after the CIA orchestrated the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad
Mosaddegh, installing the Shah, oil interests were secured, but at the cost of Iranian sovereignty and decades of instability. Today, the purported concern for gas prices serves as a thin veil for an escalatory campaign, where B-52 bombers and carrier groups menace a nation that, despite Israeli claims, has shown no verifiable intent to acquire nuclear weapons or launch a pre-emptive strike. The
cost asymmetry is stark: billions in high-tech Western arms against Iran's significantly less expensive, domestically produced arsenal, all while the US simultaneously strangles Cuba and facilitates the daily murder of Palestinians and Lebanese, despite any manufactured talk of ceasefires.
