Iran Warns Trump Not To Cut Off Oil Exports, Threatens “Mother Of All Wars”

Iran Warns Trump Not To Cut Off Oil Exports, Threatens “Mother Of All Wars” thumbnail

Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani warned the US not to threaten the nation’s oil exports, called for improved relations with its neighbors including arch-nemesis Saudi Arabia, and cautioned the US that a conflict with Iran would be “the mother of all wars.”

Don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” Iran’s leader said during a speech with Iranian diplomats on Sunday, the semi-official Iranian Students’ News agency reported. “The Americans must understand well that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars” he said, adding that Iranians will only be united by further threats from the US, and that the Islamic Republic “will certainly defeat America.”

The latest attack against president Trump by Rouhani came one day after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei backed the idea of blocking all oil exports from the region by closing the Strait of Hormuz in the event of Iran’s exports being banned. He also said that “U.S. govt.’s words or even signatures cannot be relied on; thus negotiations with the U.S. are useless. The assumption that negotiations or establishing ties with the U.S. would solve country’s problems is an obvious error.”

While Iran’s belligerence toward the US (and vice versa) is nothing new, there was a surprising twist when Rouhani said that Iran would seek improved relations with its Arab neighbors in the Persian Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, according to Bloomberg. But he also said Saudi Arabia still needs to “change its actions, let go of obstinacy and be willing to have relations.”

Iran’s anger is the result of Trump’s recent decision to withdraw from Obama’s landmark nuclear deal, and Trump’s subsequent pressure on US allies to completely cut imports of Iranian crude in response to Tehran’s alleged malign activities. Those who fail to comply with America’s request would be targeted by secondary US sanctions. Following Trump’s withdrawal, Iran has been working with the EU to salvage the 2015 the accord.

And even though the other signatories to the deal officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), have condemned Trump’s decision, and have assured that they remain strongly committed to the agreement, there has been little progress in carving out a deal that excludes the US, especially with the threat of financial sanctions looming.

Apart from attempts to exert international pressure and re-impose sanctions on Iran, that were in force till the JCPOA, the US launched an online campaign to distort Iranian leadership, according to a recent Reuters report.

Rouhani also suggested that Iran has alternatives to shipping crude through Hormuz.

“No one who really understands politics would say they will block Iran’s oil exports, and we have many straits, the Strait of Hormuz is just one of those,” Rouhani said. He didn’t elaborate on the other “straits” Iran might have available for its exports.

“Mr Trump! We are the honest men who have throughout history guaranteed the safety of this region’s waterways,” Rouhani said. “Do not play with the lion’s tail, it will bring regret.”

In response to US escalations, Iran threatened to halt oil shipments through the strait if the U.S. stopped it from exporting, Esmail Kowsari, deputy commander of the Sarollah Revolutionary Guards base in Tehran. Such a move would likely provoke a conflict between Iran and the US, as the strait is the most important export waterway for most Arab oil.

Ironically, Iran has a point: the recent surge in the price of oil and gasoline, which has led to Trump’s repeated demands for OPEC and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil, and represents a threat to republicans ahead of the next midterm elections as Bloomberg calculated recently…

… would be gone instantly, if Trump were to ease off the pressure on Iran or at least suggest a more staggered implementation of the sanctions. For now, however, the US is stuck with gasoline prices at 4 years highs.

    Delusional Davy “That is an honor, so go home you parasitic, unappreciative, bad mouthing resident alien prick.”

    I am home, Exceptionalist. On planet Earth where I belong. Are you going to start fighting again about imaginary lines in the sand? Okay, I am home in the USA, my home for 30 years and a place I have no doubt that I have done more for than you. Just like I have no doubt that I have helped more Americans in my life than you because I help people every single day and you are a narcissistic bitch who only cares for himself. Don’t you have anything to do in your daddy’s farm, Exceptionalist?

    “That’s right! I forgot there for a moment that you are the self appointed board’s moderator, balancer, and comment qualifier! ROFLMFAO! God, you are fucked up. No wonder nobody likes you!”

    Obviously it is working. I just bitch slapped your attempt at bitch slapping. I made you look stupid trying to support the stupidity and inaccuracies that came out of 3rd world today. If you dumbasses are going to be extremist anti-American then be accurate otherwise I will expose your inaccuracies. I think that qualifies as a moderator. LOL Busted!

    “I am home, Exceptionalist.”
    We don’t want an unappreciative bad mouthing resident alien blood sucking off us. This is commonly called a leach. We don’t need South American playboys playing on the beach while other real Americans support that bad behavior.

    Nothing you could do is more. The point is you are a leach and bad mouthing.

    More empty bragging and projecting. I worked all day yesterday and I am enjoying my coffee at the moment. I am going to head out soon to a wonderful morning. BTW, I will have my cell phone to continue the bitch slapping so stick around.

    There, I just bitch slapped you again, and all I had to do was copy and paste your insane post. You obviously can’t understand, because you are too insane, that posting comments like that makes you look like an immature, deranged, kindergarden bully. All I have to do is copy and paste your shit, and that is why I do it systematically. You are your own worst enemy, Davy, just like your country is its own worst enemy. Oh, the irony is so sweet!

    JuanP, I express my opinions of current events and the fall of the Us with refs most of the time. I have yet to read any rebuttal from Davy that uses refs to refute them. Davy’s ‘rebuttals’ are all just immature putdowns, and as meaningful as goat shit. Laughable, not hurtful. He cannot type any thing that would upset me. He would have to be important to me to even begin to upset me and he is a nothing. Zero. A meaningless hunk of meat. My cat is more important that he is.

    MM is the same. When cornered they come out as immature bullies trying to kill the messenger, not realizing that it does not change the message. Or they change the topic.

    Your putdowns are polite compared to the ones I could use if I stooped so low. Not going to. They are too far down the road to insanity to be worth the effort. If this board were monitored, they would both be gone.

    The Us leadership is insane:

    “The Helsinki hysteria shone a spotlight on the utter impotence of the establishment media and their Deep State controllers to make their delusions reality. Never before has there been such a gaping chasm visible between the media’s “truth” and the facts on the ground. Pundits compared the summit to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, with some even reaching for the brass ring of the Holocaust by likening it to Kristallnacht, while polls revealed the American people really didn’t care…. Worse, it laid bare the collusion between the media and their Deep State handlers… When the lights went out at the climactic moment, it became clear for anyone who still hadn’t gotten the message, who was running the show here (and Trump, to his credit, actually joked about it). The Intelligence Community believes it is God,…”

    3rd world, if you would make a proper comment supported with references for your anti-American extremism then you would not see a response from me. I have told you anti-American extremist to make proper and accurate comments or you will be moderated.

    Davy’s ‘rebuttals’ are all just immature putdowns, and as meaningful as goat shit. Laughable, not hurtful.
    Projecting, 3rd world with hypocrisy again? You routinely cut down people’s character and do the name calling.

    “He cannot type any thing that would upset me.”
    Then why are you making this comment, stupid?

    “He would have to be important to me to even begin to upset me and he is a nothing. Zero. A meaningless hunk of meat. My cat is more important that he is.”
    Hunk of meat, LMFAO at the dork. BTW, This is the proper sentence “My cat is more important than he is”

    “Your putdowns are polite compared to the ones I could use if I stooped so low. Not going to. They are too far down the road to insanity to be worth the effort. If this board were monitored, they would both be gone.”

    Stupid senile old man he has said he is a resident alien. He has bragged about it and said he would never become a US citizen. I hope he gets busted for a crime and deported. Quit talking when you don’t know something. He is a leach and bad mouths the US. He needs to go home.

    “Maybe you should attack the millions of immigrants that are NOT Us citizens but are living off of your dollar. There are about 10,000,000 of them. Go for it defender of America!”

    I think you are the one that needs to look it up. Do you know how to use a dictionary. I spelled kindergarden the right way, just like I am doing again. There is nothing more sad than a stupid, ignorant person correcting someone who didn’t make a mistake. You really thing you are the shit, don’t you, even when you are wrong? Are you capable of admitting that you made a mistake and not me, and say you are sorry? Or are you arrogant on top of ignorant, stupid, and insane?

    ” The Us leadership is insane”

    The US leadership (outside of the presidency itself) is run by fanatical and (largely) Jewish globalists. They control the media and entertainment industries, along with many parts of the government. They hate Russia because they cannot control it; hence, the hysteria. Their interests and agenda are entirely removed from the interests of the bulk population; hence the chasm between their interests and public opinion. Their grip is slip sliding. But whilst Trump is able to defy them, I am not seeing any evidence that he has been successful at loosening their grip on power, though most of them do seem to be ‘Democrat’ aligned. Personally, I hope that they can be removed before they drag America down with them. But with no one in power willing to acknowledge who they really are publicly and take concrete actions against them, there is every chance that with Trump’s eventual departure, they will tighten their grip.

    That is inaccurate Antius and extreme. The US has pockets of Jewish globalism at work and certain aspects of the country are dominated by them but not the whole country. They don’t run things around here and many other areas. Jews are a minority here. The US is run by many different corporate lobbyist and ideological groups. There are many here because we are a multicultural country and with many different corporate groups. Politics is a variety of different self-seeking entities fighting for a shrinking pot. You are English and do not know the US like you think you do. You are way too into the Zionism is the reason the world is screwed up. The reason the world is screwed up is humans are screwed up including your white Anglo-Saxon Protestant variety. You Europeans are the biggest reason this world is screwed up in the first place.
