For the second time in as many days, the US State Department has unveiled a new round of sanctions against Iran, once again focused primarily on companies involved in the petrochemical industry, and once again nominally over rocket strikes in neighboring Iraq.
Details on the companies targeted are still emerging, but Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed that they were enabling “the Iranian regime’s violent behavior,” and he directly blamed Iran for recent rocket fire at US forces in Iraq.
In practice, the US was blaming Iraqi militias for the strikes, accusing them of being Iranian proxies, and then tying the whole thing to Iran. In practice, it’s still not certain who did it, as a new faction with unknown affiliation claimed responsibility.
Blaming Iran is preferred by the US because it allows them to retaliate by continuing with sanctions they were likely already going to impose, and carrying out airstrikes against Iraqi targets on top of that for good measure.
The US is outright cruel and evil.
All the countries who bow to US unlawful sanctions, are cowards.
Iran who is very hart hit by COVID-19, is the only country that can’t buy medical items from abroad due to US sanctions.
I think China and Russia are helping supply Iran with needed medical items. They are more Christian than the U.S. That’s for sure.
yes your right.
Pompass is beginning to sound like an extreme zionist wind up doll, however obese a wind up doll can be.
Stretches any sense of credibility that this cretin can speak for the us.
Good to see the administration is finding something to do with their time….:?[
I’m not embarrassed or ashamed to say that I’m a Christian who reads the Bible everyday. What embarrasses and shames me is that Pompeo calls himself a Christian and takes pride in reminding us that he always keeps an open Bible on his desk.
“Not everyone who says,’Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven.”
He does not know Christ and Christ certainly does not know him.
We honestly don’t know. The only one who knows is God himself/herself. What we do know is that the statements he is making do not come from God, but, rather, in the words of Justin Raimondo, from “the other guy.” The creation of the warfare state is, perhaps, Satan’s proudest accomplishment.

Our nation is run by savages.
“Our nation is run by savages.”
As are most nations. It’s just that the rulers of other nations aren’t tempted by the mighty warfare apparatus that our rulers are allowed to wield. I swear it’s completely gone to their heads. They think they are playing video games where you can add life force to their characters after being killed. In a way they are correct, it’s just not them. When a soldier dies, you just replace him. When an innocent foreigner dies due to your brutality, well, you get 100 points.
More American genocide disguised as ‘freedom’.
