Iran Warns Trump Not To Cut Off Oil Exports, Threatens “Mother Of All Wars”
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.”
I have previously pointed out 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.

“As someone mentioned, yes, I focus on the empire’s faults and decline because I am of the OPINION that the world will be a better place when it fails. The Us is nothing but a big bully and deserves the blow-back that is coming.”
You are an anti-American extremist 3rd world. You have been toxic to this board with your hatred and resentment. So quit playing stupid with the empire talk. This is about you and your ego and your failed life in the US.
“I post articles that point this out, to counter the propaganda that we see here and that is used to refute the truth.”
What are you talking about 3rd world? You are the propaganda and this is an extremist anti-American place.
“Davy, MM, and a few others, don’t want to be reminded that they are going down. Too bad. Realty is a bitch we all have to recognize and deal with.”

Davy lives on the PO site. It is the only life he has. No friends. No family. No one to try to bully in real life. Only those of us who laugh at his attempts at verbal bullying.
He still has not gotten it thru his thick skull that they are meaningless. A person can only be hurt emotionally by words, IF the person using them is somehow important to the reader/listner, like family or a good friend. He has neither so his efforts are a waste of his time and the forum’s space.
If all of us just ignored all of his posts, he would go away. With no audience, the performer is lost. He would have to find another place to vert his frustrations and hate.

Democrats believe in Russian collusion but reject Trump’s approach to Iran. Republicans reject Russian collusion but support Trump’s approach to Iran. This is a major clue that neither has any basis in objective fact.

“When the stores run out of food..the goons will kill you”
Don’t kid yourself MM. Davy has options that none of the rest of us here do. Millionaires don’t own private jets and island retreats in the Bahamas, only the .0001%ers do.
If/when TSHTF, Davy and his ilk will be gone so fast it’ll make your head spin. His family’s private jet pilot/butler likely makes more than the rest of us ever will.
Makati1 on Mon, 23rd Jul 2018 9:26 pm
For once, we agree, MM.
“…Americans should be far more terrified of what this problem might mean for them, especially if the globe endures another major financial collapse before the United States can get its fiscal house back in order.”
It will NEVER get its fiscal house back in order. All of the American debt is unpayable. Only total collapse of the Us economy is ahead.
“America is on the verge of experiencing an absolutely catastrophic period of economic change, and it’s due mostly to its skyrocketing debt, which is the result of decades of reckless government spending—by both political parties.”
Not to mention the corporate and personal debt load that is never going to be paid.
The bit of fuzzy unicorn “if only” at the end of the article is never going to happen. The Us is going down. Slip slidin’…

You can run from the collapse but you can’t hide..Just like the book/movie “The Road”…

MM,
There are no nuke plants in the Bahamas, and mankind survived for hundreds of thousands of years without what people today refer to as the ‘economy’. The ‘economy’ is going to go away eventually MM. Plan accordingly, or not, your choice.

Despite a genetic predisposition to pancreatic cancer, President Carter has outlived his predecessors, which I attribute to a healthy lifestyle (lifelong farmer and founder of Habitat for Humanity and, as a master carpenter, enjoyed the physical work erecting housing), excellent healthcare, and peace of mind (Carter was the only president since the 1920s not to have engaged the US in perpetual warfare and he’s the only president to have brokered a true, lasting, and mutually beneficial Middle East peace agreement- Camp David Peace Accord- between Israel and her most formidable enemy, Egypt).
