The war that the United States and Israel launched against Iran is expanding. Washington and Tel Aviv are attacking more and more countries.
The CIA is arming Kurdish proxy forces in northern Iraq, with plans to launch an invasion of Iran.
Meanwhile, Israel has invaded Lebanon, and has reimposed its siege of Gaza.
Donald Trump is now even threatening to impose an economic embargo on Spain, because it refuses to support his illegal war of aggression against Iran.
Iran hits US military bases across West Asia
In response to the US-Israeli attacks, Iran has retaliated in self-defense, which it is allowed to do under international law.
Tehran has hit US military bases in the countries surrounding it in West Asia.
Oil prices skyrocket
This conflict has caused the global price of oil to skyrocket, as energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf has been damaged.
Tehran has vowed to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) described as “the world’s most important oil transit chokepoint”.
Every day, crude representing roughly 20% of global oil consumption travels through this very narrow strait, which is right off the coast of Iran.
Tehran has essentially closed the geostrategic chokepoint, by announcing that it will strike any vessels that travel through the strait.
US State Department recommends evacuation of West Asia
At the same time, the State Department has told US citizens to evacuate all of the countries of the region, issuing “serious safety risks” for Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, occupied Palestine, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
However, the State Department is not providing support for Americans who are trying to flee these countries.
CIA arms Kurdish proxies
Instead of trying to stabilize the situation, Trump is pouring fuel on the fire.
CNN reported that the CIA is arming Kurdish mercenaries in northeastern Iraq. Washington wants them to act as US proxies, invade Iran, and destabilize the Iranian government.
This policy is likely to worry Türkiye, a NATO member, and could lead Istanbul to militarily intervene as well. Türkiye has the second-largest military in NATO, after the US.
Multiple media outlets, including Axios and Rudaw, confirmed that Trump is calling leaders of Kurdish armed groups in Iraq and asking for them to help the US attack Iran.
All of this is deeply ironic, because Trump was elected on the promise that he would be a “peace president”, and that he would end wars, not wage them.
Trump said his war of aggression against Iran will likely continue for “four to five weeks”, although he added that it could “go far longer than that”.
Israel invades Lebanon and besieges Gaza
In the meantime, the regional war in West Asia is getting larger and larger.
Israel took advantage of the chaos to launch an invasion of Lebanon.
Tel Aviv hopes to reoccupy southern Lebanon. Israel occupied this region for nearly two decades, following another invasion in 1982, although indigenous resistance groups forced it out in 2000.
At the same time, Israel has reimposed its siege of Gaza.
The food supply in Gaza is very limited, and two million Palestinians may soon starve, The Guardian warned.
US military shoots protesters in Pakistan and launches operations in Ecuador
People in dozens of countries around the world have filled the streets, protesting the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
US soldiers have shot protesters in the Pakistani city of Karachi, Reuters reported.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has launched more military operations in Latin America.
Southern Command announced that US military forces are fighting in Ecuador. It claimed they are combating “narco-terrorism”.
However, Ecuador’s US-backed government is very closely linked to drug trafficking.
Ecuador’s right-wing President Daniel Noboa is a dual US citizen and a close ally of Trump.
Noboa is the son of Ecuador’s richest billionaire oligarch. His family is notorious, because numerous investigations have found that the Noboa company is deeply involved in drug trafficking, and it regularly smuggles cocaine in banana crates from its private ports.
Trump admin imposes suffocating oil blockade on Cuba
While the US government is waging multiple wars in West Asia and Ecuador, it is also essentially waging war on Cuba.
The New York Times admitted that the US military is carrying out a naval blockade of Cuba.
The Trump administration is strangling the small island nation, preventing it from importing oil, in an attempt to collapse Cuba’s economy and overthrow its revolutionary government.
This naval blockade of Cuba is continuing even as the US military is busy bombing Iran.
Bloomberg reported that Russia tried to send a tanker of oil to Cuba in late February, but the US forced the vessel to turn away, starving the country of fuel.
Trump has the record for bombing more countries (10) than any other US president
Trump, the self-declared “peace president”, has bombed 10 countries — more than any other US leader.
In his two terms as president, Trump has bombed Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
In 2025 alone, the first year of his second term, Trump bombed seven countries.
In fact, Trump initiated his war of aggression against Iran just a few weeks after he launched an organization he calls the “Board of Peace”, which amounts to an attempt to replace the United Nations with a privatized group controlled by the US and Trump himself.
Trump threatens trade embargo against Spain
While all this is happening, Trump is also threatening Spain.
Madrid has been a thorn in Washington’s side. Its left-wing government has supported Palestine and has deepened its ties with China.
Now Spain is the only state in the European Union that has openly opposed the US war on Iran.
Spain condemned the war as an “unjustified and dangerous military intervention” and a clear “violation of international law”. Madrid has forcefully called for peace.
Trump has demanded that countries in Europe let the US military use their bases in order to attack Iran.
The UK has obediently given the US access to British military bases.
Spain, on the other hand, has refused. US aircraft were forced to leave Spanish bases.
This has infuriated Trump. In a press briefing at the White House on 3 March, Trump excoriated Madrid.
The US president threatened to impose a trade embargo on Spain. He said he ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut off trade with the European nation.
If Spain continues to deny Washington access to its bases, Trump vowed to use military force to take over the facilities.
“Spain said that we can’t use their base. And that’s all right. We don’t need to. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it”, Trump said.
As he threatened Spain, Trump was sitting next to the right-wing chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, a multimillionaire who owns two private jets and previously led the German arm of Wall Street giant BlackRock.
A reporter at the White House press briefing asked Merz if he supports the US president’s proposal to punish Spain. Merz said he agreed. He openly sided with Washington against a fellow EU member.
The German government has strongly supported the US-Israeli war on Iran. In fact, Merz argued that Iran should not be protected by international law.
The West’s so-called “rules-based order” apparently only applies to certain countries.

I can’t help but to point out, although superficial and silly, that Friedrich Merz even looks like a Nazi. He would be a perfect actor in a WWII movie playing a senior SS officer.
His statements echo the far-right authoritarian warmongering rhetoric of his grandfather’s political party. We can’t make this stuff up, his Opa was a card-carrying member of the Nazi party.
He infamously said that Israel was doing our dirty work in Iran.

The historical ironies are (almost) too much to believe. As one of the most brilliant political analysts from the US (who never graduated from high school) reportedly quipped years ago: “The Germans lost WWII, but the Nazis won”

So heeelarious:
A Gulf Arab spokesman whined that the USA did nothing to protect the Gulf Arabs from Iranian missile strikes and that the USA only cares about Israel.
Garland Nixon: you Gulf Arabs have only ever been sideshow mistresses and the USA ain’t ever gonna leave their wife for you. Welcome to the real world.
Furthermore Zelensky, you ain’t nuthin’ more than a dirty crack-ho who gave the USA the clap and the USA is cuttin’ you loose too. Deal with it.

Kissinger said it less rudely:
It is dangerous to be an enemy of the USA but it is fatal to be an ally.

2026 IS THE YEAR THE US PETRODOLLAR ENDS
Prediction is a mug’s game, however stark emerging facts today lead us to the inescapable conclusion above.
Criteria for the US petrodollar:
1. Client states must sell their oil/gas EXCLUSIVELY in USD.
2.In return, the USA provides military protection to those client states.
3.Profits from such sales are recycled back into the USA mostly in the form of US debt securities (= insecure T-Bills) but may also include the US Ponzi stockmarket or US real estate etc.
Events have proven the USA is unable/unwilling to defend the Gulf petrostates, which face collapse mere days after the YankeeZioNazis launched their war of choice against Iran.
The Gulf petrostates face literal STARVATION* (apart from the lethal damage to their economies) and will need to sell all their US assets to rebuild and to pay compensation to Iran to allow food ships into the Gulf.
Saudi Arabia faces the same fate if Ansarallah decide to shut Bab-El-Mandeb.
The USD is in reality worthless fiat currency and if the Gulf States want to obtain material goods eg metals, machinery, electronics, grain etc to enable their survival, they will need to trade with countries that offer such material goods eg Russia and China, and pay in those respective currencies.
Popular revolutions in the Gulf States may result in new governments that reject and eject all YankeeZioNazi parasites and turn to the BRICS.
Japan, the largest holder of US treasuries, gets 90% of its oil/LNG from the Gulf and will need to sell its >$1 trillion in USD assets to buy oil/gas at hyperinfalted prices, maybe even beg Russia for some fuel.
Basketcase Britain will have to sell off its T-Bills as well, however whatever Western Europe does is irrelevant. Lacking in both Russian and Gulf State oil/gas, Europe is faaaaaarked (apart from Norway which has declining oilfields anyway). Western Europe is a shitshow.
*they obtain 90% of their food by ships through Hormuz
When the US petrodollar collapses, the fake US economy also collapses, however the US economy may collapse sooner due to their stockmarket bubble bursting, which will independently end the USD as global reserve currency.
The USA is faaaaaarked.
