ed note–another eye-opener that every war-weary Gentile with a vested interest in his/her own future survival needs to read, understand, and take deeply to heart.

 

Firsto, ladies and Gentile-men, a NECESSARY repetition/reiteration of something that appears often here on this humble little informational endeavor, which is that the Jews are liars as much as water is wet and fire is hot, or as we now say in yet another catchy little phrase for the very first time on this website–

 

‘LIARS GONNA LIE…’

 

Now, as it pertains to the following pile of steaming, stinking puke featured below, nota bene what the Jew, plying his time-honored trade of deception and duplicity, is attempting to inject into the Gentile mental bloodstream…

 

‘The reason that your gas prices (and therefore everything else, including your food) is going up in cost, and all of this at a time when Americans have barely 2 nickels to rub together, ISN’T our fault…It ISN’T because we, the Jews, who despise all Gentiles, have launched YET ANOTHER apocalyptic war in the Middle East from whence all of this oil originates, but rather because those mean, old EYE-ranians, you know, the ones whose destruction we Jews celebrate very year at our sick and diabolically-demented religious shin-dig known as ‘Purim’, are engaging in ‘economic warfare’ against the Goyim of the US’.

 

Now, the other ‘thingy’ that we here at this humble little informational endeavor ask the reader to consider is the following rhetorical question–

 

If indeed, as we are all told on a regular basis, that those who ‘bless’ the Jews will be ‘blessed’ by ‘yahweh’, the violent deity that they worship, why then are the Americans being CURSED with high gas prices, high food prices, and the deaths of their servicemen who are busy fighting and dying in this latest war that the Jews have started?

 

And, finalmente, ladies and Gentile-men, allow us if we may to translate from Jewspeak what the terrorist Jew who wrote this piece really means when he says at the very end of the essay that–

 

The coalition that won the military campaign against Iran now must decide whether it has the resolve to win this phase too, because that answer isn’t clear enough, not just yet…’

 

And what he means, war-weary Gentiles, without coming out and saying it in clear terms, since, as we stated earlier–

 

LIARS GONNA LIE…

 

–is nothing short of THIS–

 

 

 

–in ‘winning’ the ‘economic war’ against Iran.

The Iranian ballistic missiles have become less and less significant in this war, as Israel and the US attack their bases and factories. That said, the war hasn’t become less concerning.

 

Iran lost the first round badly. Its nuclear sites are rubble. Its air defenses are gone. The Revolutionary Guards have taken casualties they won’t acknowledge for months. By any military measure, Tehran is beaten.

 

It isn’t finished. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced last week that the strait is ‘open, but closed to our enemies.’ Araghchi was staking a territorial claim over a waterway that belongs to no one country, one that carries roughly a fifth of the world’s oil every day.

 

Brent crude is above $105 a barrel. American gasoline prices are up about 25 percent since the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran on February 28, targeting military facilities, nuclear sites, and the country’s leadership.

 

Goldman Sachs has since cut its 2026 US GDP growth forecast by 0.3 percentage points and raised its inflation forecast by 0.8 points. In a worst-case scenario, with oil flows disrupted for a full month, the bank puts recession odds at 25 percent. The economic damage is real and is spreading like a contagion.

 

Iran’s military couldn’t stop the Israeli-American air campaign. Its proxies have been dismantled. Its negotiating leverage is largely gone. What remains is geography. Geography, it turns out, survives an air campaign.

 

 

 

Message to the Gulf

 

Araghchi wasn’t speaking to Washington or Jerusalem. He was speaking to Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha.

 

The message is simple enough: hosting American forces has a price. Align with Washington, and your shipping lanes are exposed, your oil exports are vulnerable, and your economic stability becomes someone else’s collateral. Iran is trying to fracture the regional alignment that made Israel’s present military campaign possible.

 

Whether it succeeds is a separate question. The attempt itself reveals where Iran thinks this war goes from here. It’s not trying to win militarily. It lost that round. Instead it’s trying to win politically by making the cost of fighting Israel’s war prohibitive for governments that have restless publics and tight budgets.

 

That’s a harder problem than it looks.

 

 

 

Washington’s muddled response

 

Speaking Monday from Paris, where he was attending trade talks with China, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that the US was ‘fine’ with some Iranian, Indian, and Chinese vessels transiting the strait. The administration wants fuel markets to be stable.

 

That’s a reasonable short-term call, but far from a long-term strategy.

 

What Washington has signaled, intentionally or not, is that Iran can selectively control access to an international waterway, and the US will adjust around it, provided enough oil keeps moving.

 

When Tehran decides who sails and Washington adjusts, Iran runs the Strait. It rewards the regime for the one card it had left to play. And it tells every other government watching, that a chokepoint can be leveraged if you’re prepared to absorb the initial military punishment.

 

 

 

What winning this phase requires

 

The military campaign demonstrated what American and Israeli power can achieve. The open question is whether that same determination carries into the economic and maritime fight now underway.

 

The Strait of Hormuz isn’t Iranian territorial water. It’s an international waterway governed by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, a treaty Iran has signed.

 

No country gets to privatize a global chokepoint. No serious power should accept that arrangement even as a temporary fix, because temporary, especially in the Middle East, has a way of becoming permanent once the pressure lifts.

 

The principle extends beyond this war. It applies to the South China Sea, the Black Sea, and every corridor on which the global economy depends. The moment Washington signals that chokepoints are negotiable under sufficient pressure, it offers a working model to every regime that wants to test that proposition.

 

Iran turned Hormuz into its last weapon because everything else was taken from it.

 

The coalition that won the military campaign now has to decide whether it has the resolve to win this phase too.

 

That answer isn’t clear enough, not just yet.
