Oil-rich Iran Short of Fuel, Electricity; Billions Spent on Terror
Breitbart ^ | 12/18/2024 | Joel B Pollack

Iran is in the midst of a fuel shortage and an electricity crisis, causing essential utilities to be shut down in the middle of a cold winter. The regime has failed to provide for its own people but has spent billions of dollars on terror abroad.

Al Jazeera reported Wednesday:

Tens of millions of people across Iran are facing major disruptions as authorities shut down services in the face of an exacerbating energy and currency crisis amid historic regional tensions.

This week, government offices, schools, banks and businesses in major provinces and in the capital Tehran have been largely closed due to worsening fuel and power shortages as temperatures dropped to subzero levels.

Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi said on Wednesday that 13 power plants are out of commission due to a lack of fuel.

The regime administration has failed to provide for its own people but has spent billions of dollars on terror proxy wars abroad.

The blind leading the blind.

I’m with you. How is this any different than what we’re doing?

I take it that yours is a rhetorical question.

Even terms like “terror” and “terrorism” should not be used anymore.

It’s just a negative term to invoke emotions, but since we play with these tactics as well (Syria / Ukraine), we have no moral high ground and it’s a mere rhetorical technique.

Maybe Obama will tell Biden to give Iran a few Plane Loads of Cash before he leaves ?

I figured your question was rhetorical as well, but I felt like being snarky with a not so witty retort.

Iran still financing Houthis and attempting to overthrow the Kingdom of Jordan while negotiating to make Sudan another proxy. Not to mention trying to overthrow the Palestinian Authority.

From the article: The regime has failed to provide for its own people but has spent billions of dollars on terror abroad.

The globalists have directed their U.S. puppets to spend trillions of U.S. taxpayer and taxpayers' grandchildrens' money on terror here and abroad.

We're $26 TRILLION in the hole and borrowing even more money to send to our enemies.

another tea leaf that not all is going well in Iran ... consistent with Iran folding in Syria like a cheap tent, something i wondered about ... it’s really looking like Iran is hollowed out and the government is ripe for collapse ...

What’s up with this? Since Biden eliminated sanctions, Iran has been raking in BILLIONS in oil sales. Regardless, Israel should bomb them back to before the Stone Age. Drop MOABS until their nuke-making facilities are vaporized. Continue Trump’s prior sanctions on any country doing business with Iran.
