Scott Bessent also said that “Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system.”
They’re going to steal it, aren’t they…
What you are actually going to get is
Iran won’t sell oil knowing it may not access the revenue. If it sells, it will probably through a state/currency that can’t be blocked by US.
Nothing is stopping them from selling to China in Yuan.
Dumb fucks killing the supreme leader of Shia’s and expecting the Shia population of Iran to rise up against the Iranian Regime.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Iranian Regime and it’s terrorist army in the IRGC. But whoever thought that this would lead Iranians to revolt against their country, they should be neutered.
Unlikely, ja. It’s just an incredible statement though, “we’re bombing you incessantly while our CiC and SecDef are dropping not so subtle murderous hints everyday but we’ll drop sanctions so that you can deliver us your oil and we’ll ‘consider’ paying you at some indeterminate point later down the line”
Fucking amateur hour.
Highly likely, yes.
This war is like Arsenal Vs Arsenal. Both sides claim victory yet there’s no end in sight.
A fascinating picture
A bit late but it would have been hilarious if the response to trump’s call for help was -
France: Sorry donnie our resources went to ukraine
UK: sorry, a bit busy right now finding new markets because of tariffs
Danemark: sorry dude our army had to relocate to greenland
Netherlands: sorry we are currently maintaining windmills
Australie: sorry mate, we got scammed in a submarine deal. no vessels available
Because it doesn’t in a meaningful way. It has control of a part of Iran’s air space though.
A few thousand Marines aren’t going to be enough for that.
