Iran has destroyed Israel. Outlawed videos of it.
Iran supports Palestine, opposes Israel, and criticizes certain royal families in the region as being influenced by the United States.
A few of vehicles came right before the bomb went off. They discovered uranium. They vanished. Satellites were unable to locate them.
These days, $20,000 inexpensive drones can fly over $300 million worth of US radars.

Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei separated Iran into 31 provinces before to his passing. He created thirty-one commanders. Iran has the support of the entire Muslim Ummah.

Iran received nuclear technology from the United States. What has changed, then? Why does the United States suddenly want to end this nuclear program at all costs?
The US attacks Iran. However, why would Iran target Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates rather than the United States?
The History
Iran is not a typical Middle Eastern nation. They have a significant influence on world energy policy. Iran is the only country with enough natural gas and oil to have an impact on the global energy supply.
Western nations stole Iran’s oil in the 1950s. Iran owned the land. Iran owned the oil. They were Iranian laborers. However, Britain kept the profit.
PM Mosaddegh made all the changes in 1951. He nationalized Iran’s oil.. He said, “We have the first right to our oil.”
Britain and the United States detested this. Britain suffered financial losses. The US was concerned that Mosaddegh would ally with the USSR.
MI6 and the CIA started Operation Ajax. They removed Mosaddegh and imprisoned him. The US granted complete authority to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
Iran joined the US as an ally. Iran’s foreign policy and oil transactions were under US supervision.
Iranians interpreted this as an insult. The US discussed democracy all around the world. However, the US imposed its own system and ousted an elected Iranian prime minister.This is where “Death to America” began.
The Nuclear Gift
The United States introduced the “Atoms for Peace” initiative in 1957. Iran received nuclear technology from the United States. The Tehran Nuclear Research Center was constructed by the United States. Iranian scientists were sent to MIT by the US.
Iran received medical research equipment from the US. Patients with thalassemia and malignancy benefit from nuclear imaging. One of the nations most impacted by thalassemia is Iran.
For many years, the United States gave Iran nuclear technology. Trump now spends billions to destroy this same technology.
The Petrodollar System
The US currency was backed by gold prior to 1971. For $35, the US offered one ounce of gold. However, nations questioned the US’s gold reserves. Instead of dollars, France requested gold.
President Nixon said on August 15, 1971, that the United States would no longer exchange gold for dollars. The Nixon Shock was this.
The dollar’s credibility began to decline. The United States required a substitute for gold.
Oil was viewed as a universal commodity in the US. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and the Middle East had the biggest oil reserves.
The United States and Saudi Arabia came to an accord in 1974. Saudi Arabia would only accept dollars for oil sales. S.A would purchase US Treasury bonds with those funds. S. Arabia would receive safety and security assurances from the US.
Saudi consented. Saudi persuaded other OPEC nations within a year. Dollars were used to sell oil.
The US established a steady demand for dollars. Demand for dollars was correlated with demand for oil. US dominance was implied by the demand for dollars. The petrodollar system was this.
The US turned against anyone who attempted to sell oil in a foreign currency. Saddam attempted to exchange oil for euros. Gaddafi suggested an African currency backed by gold. They both passed away.
The Proxy War
Iran backed minor groups that opposed Israel and Arab royal families rather than actively opposing the United States. Iran backed Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine. Yemen’s Houthis.
This was dubbed the Axis of Resistance by Iran.
“We stand with Palestine,” they said to the Muslim world. We oppose Israel. And oppose your dishonest US puppet royal families.
The Muslim Ummah as a whole began to sympathize with Iran.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia became terrified. They were afraid that Iran might incite revolution in their own nations. For assurances of security, they moved closer to the United States.
The Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is Iran’s most powerful weapon. Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply is transported in this tiny 33-kilometer area. This method provides 50% of India’s energy. 40% goes to China. Japan receives 80%.
Iran is situated above this route. They don’t have to bomb every ship. Iran bombed one ship. The others come to a stop by themselves. Insurance firms withdraw. Ships remain stationary until Iran provides security guarantees.
The petrodollar cycle ends when oil cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The US cannot receive oil-related investments from the Gulf nations. There is pressure on the US dollar and the economy.
