Iran to Fuel U.S. Economy?


Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi offered the right words for Trump II and his PEU negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.  Politico reported Pahlavi's pitch:
“Just by a change that we hope to bring to the table, that will be probably over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy, just by Iran’s market being opened to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran.”

Private equity underwriters (PEU) and their new TechGod brethren want to sell their wares worldwide and it's the U.S. government's job to clear new markets, finance their sales and do it all with regulatory forbearance, tax breaks and public subsidies.  

Trump II loves throwing around big investment numbers, even if they are padded like his artificially low golf scores.  

Low and behold, a natural gas pipeline/LNG project I'd followed since 2019 made Trump II's White House investment list.     


The LNG component of the project broke ground in Southwest Louisiana in 2022.  Yes, the company and corresponding project was sold to Woodside, an Australian energy company.  That deal was completed in October 2024 before Trump was reelected.  

So how does Trump II get to take credit for this project?  His White House team would need to explain.  They are not known for telling a consistent story about anything.  Regime change had already been made a clear objective by Israel, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. for the attack on Iran.  That's now number four or five on the list.

Trump II and our 51st state Israel joined weapons and intelligence in order to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader.  Both parties needed to collaborate for that execution to occur.  

That blows a hole in Marco Rubio's latest assertion that the U.S. had to go in with Israel to protect our troops/citizens in the region.  So Israel is defining our foreign policy, Mr. Secretary?  Finally, an admission of what has been so obvious to so many.

It's clear Jared Kushner (Affinity Partners) and Steve Witkoff (The Witkoff Group) could score economically if Iran could be steered into Western alliances.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU. their brash TechGod brethren and Israel.  For all that expensive and expansive love (elected officials/PEUs/TechGods/Israel), the common person suffers.  Balance, long absent, should be restored.
