Energy Bulletin/WSJ: U.S. Weighs New Sanctions on Iran’s Oil Sales to China if Nuclear Talks Fail 

The U.S. is considering tighter sanctions on Iranian oil sales to China as a way to encourage Tehran to conclude a nuclear deal and raise the costs of abandoning stalled negotiations. 

U.S. negotiators have been working with European and other international partners in Vienna since April to revive the 2015 deal that limits Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for an easing of broad sanctions. 

As those talks falter, the U.S. is running through options intended to induce Iran to keep negotiating or punish it if it doesn’t, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter. 

One plan being drafted would choke off Iran’s swelling crude-oil sales to China, the country’s main client, through fresh sanctions targeting the shipping networks that help export an estimated one million barrels a day and bring critical revenue to Iran, the officials said.

Protests in Iran Spread to Tehran as Biden Admin Negotiates with the Killers

The Biden administration the brain trust of the galaxy.

Iran has been reducing the flow of water to Iraq over the past three years, resulting in agricultural damage and water shortages. But last month Iraqi officials warned that flows coming from northwestern Iran into Sirwan and Little Zab had significantly dropped.

Why is it wrong for Ethiopia to fill a dam and then never cut the flow again, but Iran can do it all the time?

Because the Ethiopians are black?

The Biden administration the brain trust of the galaxy.

NEW YORK — Thomas J. Barrack, a longtime friend to former president Donald Trump and a billionaire businessman, was arrested on Tuesday for violating foreign lobbying laws, obstructing justice and making false statements, officials said Tuesday.

Barrack, whose primary residence is in Los Angeles, was taken into custody in California and indicted on foreign lobbying charges related to his dealings with the United Arab Emirates, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday afternoon.

He and two other defendants are accused of acting and conspiring to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018. Officials also alleged that Barrack lied to FBI agents in 2019 during an interview about his dealings with the UAE. He did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.

So Democrats are arresting Republicans on FARA, which was never hardly prosecuted before.

Topic was Iran, the Biden admin. and their negotiations. So someone asked why the Biden administration is negotiating with that Iranian government w, when they are such reprobates. Three concrete examples affecting millions, if not tens of millions of people were given. Obviously Biden looks bad like he should and a simple two liner post was not enough to turn the tide so copy and paste guy went all spazz on us.

All hat and no cattle.

"I am from a minority group" - All Hat and no Cattle

How does that work? Well in Europe people like you are getting to be more of am minority every day? It works out that way when Socialist leaders import Muslim illegals and then allow those Muslim illegals to harass and kill Jews. That European socialist model really works.

There has been a saying by conservatives and libertarians that the US is 20 years behind Europe. So what is bad in Europe is coming to America, so do not laugh in a schadenfreude way.

Is a nonpracticing Jew, who does not look like a Jew unlike conservative Jew and who has given up their religion, really Jewish? How would a Muslim tell them from any other cracker or saltine. Sure you are a minority, when it comes to government benefits and virtue signaling.

Well you did one shake hands with Simon Wiesenthal or so you claimed, but how would a man on the street know 30 years after the fact?

The topic were Iranian minorities, how the government of Iran was shitting on them and how the Biden syndicate and their voters plus forged ballots turned a blind eye.

You said it and other people remember it. It is easy to believe. You simple attend the a rubber chicken dinner hosted by a Jewish group where he was a guest speaker. The problem is not Wiesenthal or that you met him. The problem is that you think it makes you somehow special. It doesn't.

The only thins that impresses me is that Paul Fussell reviewed your dissertation and had some positive things to say about it. But merely meeting Wiesenthal? No.
