“””Amir believes Pres. Trump’s move out of Syria frees up Israel(and the U.S.) to deal with Iran.
.......

I think POTUS did it to take the money allotted for Syria and repurpose it for the Wall.

Or maybe he just decided Syria is hopeless.”””

The Real Reasons Why Iran Is the Next Target:

By William Clark*
Center for Research on Globalization
October 27, 2004

“The Iranians are about to commit an “offense” far greater than Saddam Hussein’s conversion to the euro of Iraq’s oil exports in the fall of 2000. Numerous articles have revealed Pentagon planning for operations against Iran as early as 2005. While the publicly stated reasons will be over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, there are unspoken macroeconomic drivers explaining the Real Reasons regarding the 2nd stage of petrodollar warfare - Iran’s upcoming euro-based oil Bourse. “

About people? NO!

It has always been about the Petrodollar Cycle.

I don't get the petrodollar issue. Who cares if Iran won't accept dollars? (Except by the plane load, of course!) We don't buy their oil anyway, and if we did we could easily convert our currency into Euros (or whatever) to make the purchase. Any other country has their own currency (or, in the case of European countries, Euros), and it has to be converted into whatever currency Iran will accept. Then, to make purchases from other countries, they have to convert that currency into whatever the selling country will accept. Currencies are, roughly speaking, fungible through the worldwide currency trading network.
