HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 TRUMP PAYS IRAN FOR HIS WAR In a frantic attempt to lower oil prices, the administration on Friday lifted sanctions on Iranian oil currently at sea. The lifting of sanctions will enable Iran to sell about 140 million barrels of oil, worth about $14 billion, including to the United States and to China. National security scholar Phil Gordon, who served as the White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa, and the Persian Gulf Region during the Obama administration, posted: “When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it ‘insane’ and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of ‘pallets of cash’ even though it was Iran’s own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. “Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue—one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding—in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the US, its allies, and world oil supplies.

Das Bild zeigt eine Twitter-Post von "Middle Age Riot" mit dem Handle "[@]middleageriot.bsky.social". Der Text lautet: "In their defense, the authors of the Constitution could never have predicted that American voters would be this stupid." Darunter ist ein Bild eines Mannes in einem dunkelblauen Anzug mit roter Krawatte, der mit erhobener Faust vor einer Menge steht. Die Menge im Hintergrund ist unscharf, aber man kann die Farben Rot und Weiß erkennen, was auf eine politische Veranstaltung hindeutet. Der Mann scheint eine Rede zu halten oder eine Botschaft zu vermitteln.
