Thanks for reading, Phil, I know it's quite a contrast to your December 2017 NYT op-ed advising President Trump to 'be quiet and do nothing' while Iranians were being slaughtered in the streets in Iran. 1/4 Let's start with a basic premise that undermines your entire framing: the Iranian people have not benefited from their country's wealth since 1979. The Islamic Republic's fiscal architecture was never designed to serve its population; it was designed to fund a revolutionary project. Oil revenues flow to the IRGC, the Basij, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and an economically unjustified nuclear program. What flows to ordinary Iranians is blackouts, inflation, and $7/month subsidy checks. Sanctioning that revenue stream doesn't hurt Iranians, it defunds the apparatus that oppresses them. Roughly one-third of Iran's oil goes directly to the IRGC and Supreme Leader-linked entities: the very apparatus most responsible for massacring Iranians and setting up drone manufacturing sites in our backyard, Venezuela.
