Why this economic terrorism over Iran?


Foreign Policy of Iran-14


-DR. ABDUL RUFF


______


Iran has a duty to protect its territorial waters from enemies and it
can carry out its own defensive strategies. Iran has rejected the
deliberate US warning, meant to precipitate the issue, against blocking
oil shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, as a war of words
between the two countries continues.
Iran’s uranium enrichment program is for civilian purposes and it has
the right to pursue its legitimate ambitions without caring for what
the USA or Israel thinks. . The flow of goods through the strait is
“vital to regional and global prosperity.” Iran said that if Iranian oil
is banned, “then not a drop of oil will pass through the Strait of
Hormuz.”
The UN, operating as a terrorist organization to protect Zionist
nukes and crimes, help USA, UK and allies to advance their imperialist
goals, has ratified four rounds of sanctions against Iran over its
failure to halt uranium enrichment and co-operate with the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Israel has continued non-compliance with their international nuclear
obligations. Many countries have nukes and continue manufacturing more
and more high precision nukes. Diplomacy, not missile strikes, was the
only way to solve the Iranian nuclear problem. Israeli President hawkish
Shimon Peres said that an attack on Iran was becoming more likely.
Israeli military minister and former terror PM Ehud Barak played down
speculation that Israel intended to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.
Given Iran’s past actions, closure of the Strait of Hormuz is a real
possibility. If so, oil could possibly bypass the strait through a
pipeline across the United Arab Emirates. But, it could take several
weeks to work out any alternatives.
The US might as usual press for new economic sanctions against Iran,
this time after the latest UN report on Iran’s nuclear plans. Senior
officials say they will try to “ratchet up the pressure” on Iran, making
it more expensive to do business in that country, with the aim of
hurting its economy. But what they are not doing is more important. The
White House is not dusting off any military plans. They say there was
“plenty of space” to build more pressure through sanctions.
Many strategic nuts in USA say more sanctions on Iran in the form of
economic terrorism look like an altogether safer bet than war. The
behind the scenes pressure to isolate Iran economically seems designed
to produce more widespread economic problems, and perhaps even to
provoke worker unrest. In any case, Washington would be unlikely to
secure agreement at the UN for the sort of measures it is pressing
informally.
Russia with a large scale business in Iran, warned that military
action against Iran would be a “very serious mistake fraught with
unpredictable consequences”. In the approach to an election year in USA,
domestic politics do play. However, any foreign action would dominate
Obama’s campaign, distract from what he wants to say on the US economy
and undermine the support of his Democratic base. Hence many in
the White House and Pentagon prefer to want a war with Iran.
Do the Americans want cash from Iran so that it would let Iranians
live in peace. Obama is likely to share the view of experts who say an
attack would not achieve any goals, and instead spiral out of control
into a deadly regional war. Israel would be forced to leave Mideast.
That would most likely plunge the US and Europe into a new recession.
Any case, unless entire is made nuke-free and secure of war threats
by western terrocracies, Iran’s nuclear move cannot be questioned.
