Jakarta \u2013 US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has stated that\nWashington would control nearly one-third of global oil reserves and\nreap record profits if it successfully overthrew the Iranian government.\nIn an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Graham emphasised the strategic\nambitions behind the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict.<\/p>\n
Graham described the cost of attacking Iran as the best money ever\nspent in history. He argued that the war aims to prevent Iran from\ndeveloping nuclear weapons, although Tehran has consistently denied\nthese allegations and insisted its nuclear programme is peaceful.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen this regime falls, we will have a new Middle East, we will\ngenerate enormous amounts of money. There will be no more threats to the\nStrait of Hormuz,\u201d Graham stated, adding that the US would install a\nfriendly government in Tehran.<\/p>\n
Graham further highlighted the potential for controlling global\nenergy resources through domination of Iran and Venezuela. He contended\nthat controlling the oil reserves of these two nations would be a\ndecisive blow against America\u2019s geopolitical rival, China.<\/p>\n
\u201cVenezuela and Iran hold 31% of global oil reserves. We will\nestablish a partnership with 31% of known oil reserves. This is a\nnightmare for China. This is a good investment,\u201d Graham asserted.<\/p>\n
Graham\u2019s remarks emerged as global crude oil prices surged past $100\nper barrel. Nevertheless, US President Donald Trump dismissed the price\nincrease as trivial, considering it a small price to pay for the\nUS-Israeli war against Iran launched since 28 February.<\/p>\n
Washington has reportedly been attempting to control Venezuela\u2019s oil\nsector following the capture of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro by US commandos\nin early January. On Saturday, Trump formally recognised Venezuela\u2019s\ninterim President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, who has signalled willingness to\ncooperate with the US.<\/p>\n
In response to US and Israeli attacks, Iran has closed the Strait of\nHormuz and attacked several tankers attempting to traverse this crucial\nshipping route. This action has triggered further disruptions to global\nenergy flows, compounded by Iranian military counter-attacks on American\nmilitary bases in Gulf states.<\/p>\n
The Tehran government has condemned the war as unprovoked aggression\nand vowed not to capitulate to the unconditional surrender demands made\nby Trump. Military tensions in the region continue to escalate,\naffecting global economic stability.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/us-official-reveals-iran-war-making-america-richer-heres-the-evidence-1773064410", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
