Contrary to claims made by the most extreme section of the Jewish Lobby in America, the “peace deal” put in place by the only slightly less extreme Obama regime against Iran is the most “sweeping, comprehensive sanctions” in history.
This claim was made by Jacob Joseph Lew, the Jewish Supremacist United States Secretary of the Treasury during his appearance in front of the Jewish lobby’s American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) conference next week.
Lew’s speech to the Jewish lobby, released in full on the US Government Treasury website (it is, of course, not insignificant that his speech to the largest formal—but supposedly private—Jewish lobby is featured on an official taxpayer-paid for government mouthpiece) contained the following revelations about the Obama regime’s sanctions against Iran:
“But because of President Obama’s leadership, Congressional actions, American diplomacy, which AIPAC has supported, we put in place a historic sanctions regime and Iran now finds itself under the greatest economic and financial pressure any country has ever experienced.
We now have in place the most sweeping, most powerful, most innovative, and most comprehensive sanctions regime in history.
The Treasury Department, which administers and enforces the sanctions, monitors the numbers carefully.
And when you consider the ongoing sanctions that remain in place, the temporary, targeted, and reversible sanctions relief is extremely limited—totaling an estimated $7 billion.
To put that into context, during the same six month period, Iran will lose roughly $30 billion in oil sales alone from the sanctions that remain in place.
Put simply, this relief will not enable Iran’s economy to recover from the deep economic damage inflicted by the sanctions program.
The fact is, because of years of sanctions enforcement, Iran has about $100 billion locked up in overseas banks.
No matter what, Iran’s economy will continue to feel severe economic pressure from our ongoing sanctions regime.
For example, our oil sanctions that remain in place have forced Iran’s oil exports to drop by more than 60 percent over the last two years. And we will continue to enforce them.
All told, the crushing sanctions have deeply damaged economic conditions in Iran.
There are four key indicators that tell the whole story:
first, last year the economy shrunk by 6 percent and it is expected to shrink again this year;
second, the value of its currency, the rial, has plummeted, having lost about 60 percent of its value against the dollar;
third, the unemployment rate is over 15 percent; and
finally, the inflation rate is about 30 percent, one of the highest in the world.
The economic sanctions have crippled Iran’s economy on many fronts.
Claims that Iran’s economy is undergoing a recovery because of the Joint Plan of Action are just plain wrong. Even though I have said this before, it bears repeating: Iran is not open for business.”
In other words, the Jewish lobby which runs the US government is here actively boasting about how its sanctions program has inflicted major damage on the Iranian economy—all over completely invented lies about Iran’s mythical “atom bomb.”
It is worthwhile remembering that all the official US intelligence agency reports have confirmed that there is no Iranian nuclear weapons program.
This makes the “sanctions” about which Lew is boasting, nothing less than an act of war against a foreign nation—just because the Jewish lobby does not like Iran.
Furthermore, Lew’s boasting also reveals that the real “split” in Washington D.C. is not between a “pro-Israel” or an “anti-Israel” lobby, as the Jewish Supremacist-controlled media likes to portray it, but rather merely a division between “extreme Jewish extremists,” and “ordinary Jewish extremists.”
As Lew himself put it:
“The U.S.-Israel relationship, which is rooted in our shared story of people yearning to be masters of their own destiny, is as vibrant as ever.
“And as everyone here recognizes, the future of the United States is tied to the future of Israel.
“This is something that every President since Harry Truman has understood.
“In fact, in 1948, it took President Truman only 11 minutes to recognize the Jewish state of Israel.
“And from then on, the American-Israel relationship has not been a Democratic cause or a Republican cause, it has been an American cause.
“The future of the United States is tied to the future of Israel.”
