Iran has cut oil to several European countries in response to increased sanctions against Iran. I suspect much of this is posturing, given that a US warship sailed through Hormuz a few days ago without so much as batting an eye, which implies that for people on the ground, it's business as usual.
Iran is cutting oil to the west.
The warning bells are ringing in the mind
Of pundits, politicians, ill-defined
Historians who speak at the behest
Of war, and Neville Chamberlain’s mistake
(“Appeasing an aggressor is unwise,
And Achmadinejad is full of lies.”)
The theory is, my mind is not awake
If I am anti-war, or cautiously
Give out my trust in Mideast nations. Well,
This Achmadinejad can go to hell.
Iranians, however, tried to free
Their country from his rule a while back.
We group them all as one if we attack.
Besides, they needed weapons in the war
With one Saddam Hussein, who battled for
Himself, and then the Saudis, and the States.
The fear of all the western potentates
Was of a strong, invincible Iran.
Now everyone is doing what they can
To stop an end that’s doubtless set in stone,
Inevitably written. We had sown
All this upon ourselves some time ago.
I wish upon the Dulles brothers woe,
Or would, were they alive, and Kermit, too,
And reprimands for Eisenhower, who
Allowed Iran to suffer as a slave.
And Mossadegh is rolling in his grave.
