• The US has announced a blockade of all maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz originating from Iran or having agreed with Iran for passage;

• This is the full implementation of Washington’s initial objective for waging war with Iran, an oil blockade of not only China but also much of the multipolar world;

• The US’ primary geopolitical objective is global hegemony and the only way it can achieve this objective is by dragging the rest of the rising multipolar world down relative to US power and wealth;

• The primary means to do this is by targeting the life blood of modern civilization which is energy;

• The US has been sabotaging and creating energy crises deliberately around the world including through the invasion of Venezuela, the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines, its own blockade on the so-called “shadow fleet,” and the US CIA and military targeting Russian energy production, storage, and export facilities within Russia itself;

• US “negotiations” with Iran failed primarily because US terms were illegal under international law and simply coercion dressed up as “negotiations;”

• US Vice President JD Vance’s role in the failed talks and his public threats against Iran afterward confirm his ardent support for US aggression evident even during 2024 presidential campaigning;

• US war with Iran is part of continuity of agenda, driven by US-based corporate interests transcending presidential administrations regardless of rhetoric or supposed political affiliations with the Biden administration carrying out policy without which the current war could not have been launched;

• Beyond the Middle East the US is attacking, undermining, and toppling nations producing and shipping oil and gas to China with the ultimate goal of blockading, undermining, containing, and even collapsing China itself;

• The Trump administration is even floating the idea of a blockade on Iran meant specifically to place pressure on China;
