## Resource

In this eye-opening interview, we dive into escalating Middle East tensions as oil prices surpass $100/barrel. We explore how the US uses fake peace negotiations and MOUs as a ruse to degrade Iranian infrastructure while maintaining military escalation. The discussion covers critical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, Yemen’s renewed attacks on Saudi shipping, and US pressure on Riyadh to restart hostilities in exchange for a conditional nuclear deal. We also analyze Israel's reliance on Jordan for strategic depth, US economic leverage over Iraq's sovereign wealth, and why America's overextended proxy war strategy mirrors the decline of past empires. A must-watch for understanding the real dynamics driving regional conflicts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
