This is a blatant misrepresentation of the food insecurity situation in the Gulf region. The decades of US's and the UN's genocidal sanctions on Iran forced the country to become resilient in many ways, including in domestic food production. Iran, unlike every one of its Gulf neighbors, is 85-90% food self-sufficient, in no small part thanks to heavily government subsidized efforts to triple the size of their greenhouse cultivation sector over the past 15 years. Nearly a quarter of Iran's 92 million people are employed in agricultural sector, many of whom work in one of 36,000 small greenhouse operations. Qatar and the UAE, by contrast, have to import 85-90% of their food. Similarly, in US-occupied Hawai‘i (where I live), about 90% of the food we eat has to be shipped here. Pre-colonization Hawai‘i was 100% self-sufficient, with a comparable population to the number of present-day residents on the islands thanks to the ahupua‘a system that lived along the grain of the land and water rather than against it. Under the yolk of the US capitalist system, if container ships stop coming to Honolulu Harbor for more than two weeks, hundreds of thousands of us will starve. Iran will be able to feed its own people, in part because the US spent 47 years imposing murderous economic conditions upon the country that left Iranians with no other choice. It's the people reliant on the US government to provide food security for them who should be deeply worried. Brace yourself, because Iran is about to teach the western world yet another valuable lesson: when our hands drift too far from the soil, we can easily begin to lose track of the change in season.
