“Donald Trump's reported desperation to end the Iran war is allowing Tehran's leaders to take a harder negotiating line — and a candid admission the president made on Fox News this week handed Iranian negotiators a significant strategic gift.”

| So Trump said that due to the inability of China to get Iranian oil, the US would begin selling China Alaskan and Louisiana oil. Anybody think that another reason this war was started was to make China dependent on American oil? |

China does not need the oil. The same people pushing that narrative are the same experts who have gotten everything this else wrong- Iraq WMD, Iran’s missiles are all destroyed, Iran can not close the strait, etc. |

Slight tangent but I HATE raw story. It’s just lefty wishful clickbait headlines with no substance. I have no doubt if I clicked on the link it basically would not verify the wild headline, but I refuse to click any of their links. |

They aren’t getting things wrong. They are getting it right. Do you think their goal is to make America win? Their goal is to make China the hegemon. The republican party’s had that goal since Nixon. We are run by traitors |

Why is our news media such shit?
Why are they not reporting that we actually lifted sanctions on Russia and Iran to get crude oil? The same country we are fighting is making money because we need the oil to curtail the blocking of oil from the Strait of Hormuz? We are a joke |

The International Energy Agency soon declared that the Iran War was producing “the largest supply disruption in the history of oil markets.” Trump officials announced that that the 32 nations in the IEA were releasing 400 million barrels of oil and refined products from their reserves, which included 172 million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
America also removed all previous sanctions on Russian oil, thereby allowing countries to easily purchase it, including the large quantities that had already been exported but were sitting at sea without buyers. Even more remarkably, we did the same to Iranian oil, thereby allowing the country we were attacking and seeking to destroy to freely market the 140 million barrels of crude they had already shipped but been unable to sell, earning Iran a potential windfall of around $15 billion, twice its annual military spending. I’ve never previously heard of any country during wartime taking such a step to boost the government finances of the enemy it was seeking to defeat and destroy. Iran also began furiously pumping and shipping additional oil, selling it at much higher prices than it had previously received. Trita Parsi, a prominent Iran expert, noted that as a result the oil revenues received by the Iranian government had more than tripled from what they had been before the missiles began firing |
