Hormuz Update – Pageantry for Iran

Despite the US Navy now making it to the Persian Gulf, they are still not escorting commercial vessels through the Straits. Where are the “Defenders of Freedom” when you really need them?

Recall that the Straits, even at its narrowest point, consists of the territorial waters of two nations, Iran and Oman. Iran has no right to stop or extort vessels leaving through Omani waters any more than Cuba has rights to prevent vessels from entering the Panama Canal. They have never attempted such stupidity in the past. But it is obvious that the Phoenicians in the West have now green-lighted them. Because they would rather have Iran play an impoverished bully in the region rather than risk the rise of sovereign Arab economies.

Emboldened, Iran has once again closed the Straits, even firing at an Indian vessel which they originally tricked into leaving. Here’s the audio. Did the US Navy and/or its drones/Air Force sink these Iranian gunboats? No. Instead, Pakistan^[1]China and Qatar seem to be applauding Pakistan for saving Iran’s grip on Hormuz. has been called in to discuss awarding $20 billion of US taxpayer monies in exchange for Iranian “uranium.” But since nuclear weapons don’t exist and no commoner on the American side will ever get to audit the uranium received becoz “National Security,” this is nothing but a grift on the American taxpayer. Obama gave them $1.7 billion. And when the Phoenicians realized that the American public is more or less sleepwalking, they have bloated the bill this time. Since the the whole uranium deal sounded too much like a grift, they have changed the wording and they are now claiming that they will award Iran with $20 billion in “unfrozen assets.”

Why didn’t the United States offer such inducements to the Taliban? In contrast, why were they hellbent on conquering Afghanistan and bombing goat-herders? Is it because the leaders of Iran are cryptos, who must be salvaged at all costs, even if their regime would collapse if Internet was restored? Why is the the United States waiting for a UN Resolution, which will be influenced by Russia and China, countries similar to Iran in terms of their enslavement of their citizenry? Going back into history, everything about “Islamic” Iran is pageantry. The Ayatollah’s plane would never have left France to land in Tehran if the Western governments were against him. The fall of the US Embassy in Tehran was more of theatrics, intended to establish Iran as some kind of “Islamic” player. The Pentagon would never be supplying Israeli missiles to Iran unless they had some secret links to the regime. Now USA can stay out of the spotlight, while passing the torch to China, it seems.

On the other hand, there are economic theorists who want to prolong the Hormuz crisis to push electrification. This crisis is seen as a godsend by them. 

In other news you never heard of, the US has fully withdrawn from Syria. Because when Israel expands into the region, they don’t want to be pushed into peacemaking. President Al-Sharaa must understand that he is running on borrowed time, and he must arm all Syrians, especially the Kurdic and Turkic tribes before it will be too late. Israel will never be able to swallow the Kurds, and this is the reason why they have always been denied sovereignty.
