## Resource

I break down Kharg Island's importance and the economic disaster that would befall Iran if the U.S. takes control. This could lead to the total collapse of the regime while also putting further strain on China's oil needs. The control of Kharg Island and Iran's oil could also lead to the seemingly unintentional position of the U.S. becoming both the largest producer of oil, and the largest exporter of oil.Support our Sponsors!!!Click Here For Discounts!!!Web: https://www.worldablazepodcast.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fontesablaze/featuredX: https://x.com/fontesablazeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fontesablaze/Substack: https://substack.com/@fontesablaze Hosted on Acast.
