U.S. is Obsessed With Iran’s Oil More Than Nuclear Weapons

Republicans have nothing left when it comes to Trump’s fake Iran “war,” other than grasping at straws.

Nothing left but to try and convince us that a “war” was needed to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Never mind the obvious reality, that a “war” cannot stop Russia, Pakistan or China from just giving Iran nuclear weapons. While opposing Trump’s “war,” the Democrats and Republicans have always worked together on this sham approach that the U.S. could stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which was never possible.

Never possible because the U.S. would need to militarize and monitor all of Iran’s borders and seaports every second of every single day to make sure no enriched uranium or nuclear weapons entered Iran — never could have been done and never will be done.

Our government, both Democrats and Republicans, are obsessed with oil-rich Iran, that is what this fake “war” is all about.
