U.S. Forces begin moving into Saudi Arabia.

[Mindful]

The U.S. is sending troops to Saudi Arabia and is setting up an air base in a location that was abandoned 15 years ago in response to Iranian actions in the gulf. They are setting up patriot missile systems and prepping the runway for a Squadron of aircraft to move in.

So this is a global sanction via the UN that Iran signed on to?

There is no UN resolutions which forbid selling oil to Syria.

 

[eagle1462010]

The result of them starting that War in Yemen is millions of people have starved to death and died by disease from that War. A War that Iran is NECK DEEP IN.

Your ally Saudi Arabia is also in that war neck deep, bombing civil areas with air strikes and imposing blocade on Houthi held regions.

They are in a War there..........War has 2 sides.........And the Houthi's use terror tactics by putting weapons in civilian areas to ENSURE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES...........How about the Iranian proxies stop hiding behind women and children.........Novel idea.

Why is Iran in Yemen to begin with? To start a War based on their Islamic belief that the army of the faithful under the end of times prophecy will come from Yemen.

Syria Sanctions

Embargoes and sanctions on Syria

https://humanrightsfirst.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/Syria_Sanctions_Fact_Sheet.pdf

Is Syria subject to any U.N. sanctions?
Yes. Existing U.N. sanctions on Syria stem from investigations looking into Syria’s role in a terrorist attack in Beirut, Lebanon in 2005. The attack resulted in the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and the deaths of 22 others. U.N. Security Council Resolution 1595 condemned the attack and established a commission to investigate it. The follow-on UNSC Resolution1636 sanctioned those individuals suspected of being complicit in the attack and the investigation’s obstruction. The resolution called on all states to take necessary measures to “prevent entry into or transit through their territories of such individuals.” It also ordered states to “freeze all funds, financial assets and economic resources that are on their territories that are owned or controlled” by persons suspected of being complicit in the attack.
In support of UNSC Resolution 1595, President Bush issued Executive Order 13399 blocking all assets of persons involved in the planning, sponsoring, organizing, or perpetrating of the terrorist attack. E.O. 13399 also sanctioned those who materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of the terrorist attack and those who were found to have impeded the UN commission’s investigation into the attack.
Since the crackdown began, members of the UN Security Council have attempted to pass a resolution condemning the violence against civilians in Syria; the resolution called for an end to the repression and would have laid the foundation for imposing sanctions against the Syrian regime. However, in a rare double-veto, Russia and China blocked the resolution. A few months later, Russia and China blocked another resolution by the Arab League calling for an end to violence and laying out a solution for the crisis.

 

[eagle1462010]

Russia and China have vetoed most resolutions against Syria in the UN. The Western powers have gone ahead and implemented Sanctions against Syria for use of Chemical Weapons against Civilians. These Sanctions have been in place since Obama.

They continue. And we can use old guidelines as the Proxies of Iran are considered Terrorist organizations.

Saudi Arabia and the monarchies of Persian Gulf have supported a bunch of people which can be called terrorists - Isis, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hamas and others. And despite of this, their high ranked officials are welcomed in the US, tons of weaponry are sent there, and American officials are eager to attract money from there as investments.

And now American people are being readied for another war in the Middle East to protect this 'allies', which will only lead to the rise of islamists groups as was the case in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

And about the British tanker. It wasn't Iran that was an instigator. It were British authorities who detained Iranian tanker and Iran did in response. How dense one should be to not understand this?

Only you would know, as you apparently do not understand! Britain seized a ship violating sanctions. Iran seized a ship in international waters for no apparent reason other that a tit-for-tat action.

The waters the tanker was sailing in was.

This doesn't give Britain a right to detain foreign ships if they don't breach maritime rules. What they could do is to prevent the ship from entering the waters.

Wrong. STFU and go back to your ignorant state of being.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Wouldn't it have been a decent idea for the Royal Navy to provide an escort for British flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz?

I don't think Iran allows foreign warships in it's territorial waters without an invitation...

They were NOT in Iran's waters, dumbass!

Sanctions Announcement on Iran - United States Department of State

The United States today sanctioned an international network by which the Iranian regime and Russia are providing millions of barrels of oil to the Assad regime in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force, and for onward transfer to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hizballah.

The sanctions levied today directly target the Iranian regime’s exploitation of the international financial system to hide revenue streams it uses to fund terrorist activity, provide support for sectarian militias responsible for abuses against civilian populations, and destabilize the region. The Iranian regime, Iranian-commanded forces inside Syria, and the proxy terrorist groups it supports such as those targeted today, continue to foment instability to extend their malign influence. These actions by the Iranian and Assad regimes undermine the legitimate processes to resolve the conflict in Syria.

The UN Security Council lifted sanctions against Iran after signing JCPOA and endorsed the deal with a separate resolution. Britain officially follows JCPOA doofus.

 

[RealDave]

Thank you! I thought it was awful screwy that the EU could impose world wide sanctions on any state.

How quickly some forget. That Sanctions began under Obama for Chemical attacks against civilians in Syria. These sanctions were UN approved and the sanctions continue to prevent Assad from using Chemical weapons in Syria.

Part of those economic sanctions are fuel restrictions on Assad. Britain, the EU, the U.S. enforce those sanctions and Iran was in violation of those sanctions.

So this is a global sanction via the UN that Iran signed on to?

No......Iran doesn't agree and they are stopped from arming, and giving fuel to Iranian proxies in Syria. Not only that in the past countries have boarded and seized their ships bringing weapons to Houthi's in Yemen. Another proxy War of Iran. That war is an all out fight between Saudi Arabia and Iranian Proxies. Iran uses proxies to fight Wars......and then say they had no part of it......which is a LIE. The result of them starting that War in Yemen is millions of people have starved to death and died by disease from that War. A War that Iran is NECK DEEP IN.

We support SA who supporta a proxie so Trump is at war in Yemen.

So was Obama.........and we got thrown out of Yemen under his watch. Remember that or do you have selective memory.

We have sold weapons to SA.......in the War against IRAN .......oops.....Houthis there.......yup.

Iran is the cause of a revolution in Yemen who have caused millions to die of starvation and disease.

Guess you missed that didn't you.

Obama was going after ISIS in Yemen.

Iran did not start this civil war

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)

Executive Summary:
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is tasked with preserving the Islamic Republic of Iran and the ideals of the 1979 revolution. The IRGC combines traditional military roles with a relentless focus on supposed domestic enemies. The IRGC is Iran’s primary instrument for exporting the ideology of the Islamic Revolution worldwide. It is rigidly loyal to Iran’s clerical elite. The IRGC is Iran’s main link to its terrorist proxies, which the regime uses to boost Iran’s global influence.

Within the IRGC are the Basij militia and the Quds Force (IRGC-QF). The Basij, literally “mobilization,” is a paramilitary organization charged with channeling popular support for the Iranian regime. The Basij is famous for its recruitment of volunteers, many of them teenage children, for human wave attacks during the Iran-Iraq war. Today, the Basij has two missions: to provide defensive military training to protect the regime against foreign invasion, and to suppress domestic anti-regime activity through street violence and intimidation. After the contested 2009 Iranian presidential elections, for example, the Basij brutally quashed protests and attacked student dormitories.

The IRGC’s Quds Force specializes in foreign missions, providing training, funding and weapons to extremist groups, including Iraqi insurgents, Hezbollah, and Hamas. The Quds Force allegedly participated in the 1994 suicide bombing of an Argentine Jewish community center, killing more than 80 and wounding about 300. In the years since, the Quds Force has armed anti-government militants in Bahrain, and assisted in a 2011 assassination attempt on Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States. The Quds Force also plays a key role in support of Syrian regime forces in that country’s civil war.

Financing:
IRGC

The IRGC received a reported 24 percent increase in Iran’s proposed 2017-18 fiscal budget, up from $4.5 billion to $7.4 billion. The IRGC’s allocation represented 53 percent of Iran’s defense budget.Saeed Ghasseminejad, “Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Gets a Raise,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies, March 31, 2017, FDD | Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Gets a Raise. Iran’s military budget has reportedly experienced a 70 percent increase in funding during President Hassan Rouhani’s tenure,* growing from $3.3 billion in FY 2013-14 to more than $5 billion after Rouhani assumed the presidency in 2013. Ahead of the FY 2016 budget, however, Rouhani reportedly sought to cut the IRGC’s budget in favor of Iran’s army.* The Iranian parliament rejected the cut and raised the IRGC’s budgetary allocation.* Rouhani reportedly cut the IRGC’s budget by 17 percent in his proposed 2019-2020 budget submitted in December 2018.*


The IRGC is also Iran’s most powerful economic actor, according to the U.S. Treasury Department, which labeled the National Iranian Oil Company “an agent or affiliate of the Revolutionary Guards.”* According to a 2017 assessment by then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, IRGC-linked companies control up to 20 percent of Iran’s economy.* In July 2018, the city council of Tehran announced that the IRGC Cooperative Foundation, which manages the IRGC’s investments, had embezzled more than $1 billion from the city of Tehran.*

IRGC Commander: Iran Is on the Brink of an “All-Out Clash with the Enemy”

In the regional arena as well, tensions are mounting. On May 14, 2019, the Yemeni Houthis – who are under Iran’s influence in Yemen – used seven GPS-guided Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to attack the Aramco East-West pipeline’s pumping stations in Saudi territory in the Dawadmi and Afif region.1

A UN report submitted to the UN Security Council in January 2018 found compelling evidence that Houthi-made Qatef drones had an almost identical construct and capability as the Iranian Ababil UAV.2

On May 12, 2019, Saudi, Norwegian, and UAE oil tankers were sabotaged near the shore of the Fujairah emirate in the Gulf of Oman. In both cases, Iran signaled that amid the tightening sanctions and deepening economic crisis it is capable of pinpoint strikes on sensitive oil infrastructures in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, as well as in the heart of the Saudi oil industry.


The message sent to the UAE and/or Saudi Arabia is that “we know where your vulnerabilities are” should you choose “to circumvent the Straits of Hormuz.”

The Houthis have also attacked Saudi Arabia and the UAE with drones and missiles in the past. In July 2018, a drone exploded at Abu Dhabi airport causing minor damage and sending a strong message to the UAE and their dominant role in the southern parts of Yemen. In January 2019, a senior intelligence chief and senior officials were killed at the al-Anad air force base just outside Aden by a weaponized drone that exploded above them as they attended a military parade.4
