In May 2018, President Trump ended the JCPOA,
otherwise known as the Iran nuclear Deal,
that was agreed by the US and Iran,
as well as the UK,
EU, Russia and China in 2015.
The idea behind the Iran deal was to curb
Iran's nuclear ambitions so that it would not develop a
nuclear weapon,
but also to ease sanctions on Iran,
which had crippled its economy.
However, this deal was not popular with everyone.
In the run up to the 2016 US elections.
Many politicians use the Iran deal as political football.
Many Americans were outraged, perhaps justly,
that millions of dollars are paid to Iran.
It should be said that President Trump was not against
making a deal with Iran.
I've been doing deals for a long time.
I've been making lots of wonderful deals,
great deals. He simply said that the deal was badly
negotiated and that he could have made a much better
deal.
After all, the president wrote the best selling book,
The Art of the Deal,
and he always said that he was a deal maker.
I guarantee you that if I were president,
this deal wouldn't be made.
A deal would be made That's 100 times better.
What? 100 times better? Now,
I have to tell you,
I actually agree with the president on this point.
Could the Iran deal have been better negotiated?
Yes, I think President Trump,
given his experience and personality,
could well have negotiated a much better deal,
especially since America had leverage and held the majority of
its cards in its hands.
So remember, the president was never in favor of having
no deal with Iran,
just a better one. However,
what the US has done is to go far beyond
just breaking the Iran nuclear deal.
Harsh sanctions have also been imposed in Iran,
which have caused the Iranian economy to implode and for
it's currency to collapse.
I think the most immediate impact has been on the
Iranian people.
We're not talking about the wealthy,
the elite, the powerful. We're talking about the average Iranian,
the working class, the middle class,
the poor. These are people with
very little savings who depend on a meager salary to
make ends meet.
The value of the Iranian currency has been decreased by
almost 70%.
That has led to inflation,
scarcity, prices going up. Eggs,
diapers, electronic goods, real estates,
everything has gone up in price.
Some of those items triple in in price.
And perhaps the most troubling impact has been on humanitarian
goods and medical supplies.
By September 2018, the Iranian real had depreciated threefold in
just a few months.
The Iranian Toman, the main currency used by Persians,
was 3000 against the US dollar in 2016.
By October 2018, the tomah's value had dropped to a
shocking
16,000 against the US dollar.
Just to appreciate how terrifying this is,
imagine you had $10,000 in savings in your bank.
Now imagine that 10,000 being reduced to
$2000 in five months, 80%
of your money evaporating before your eyes.
And that is just by doing nothing but keeping your
money in the bank.
That is not all. In 2016,
the average worker in Iran was earning about
$350.00 a month. Due to the currency depreciation,
that same worker is now earning only about 80 to
$100 a month.
Ask yourself this question. How could you possibly live on
$80.00 a month?
Life of many Iranians has suddenly become unbearable.
Many are going hungry and becoming desperate.
The Iran sanctions inflict maximum pain on the people that
have done nothing wrong,
ordinary folks who are just trying to make ends meet
and failing at that.
Now I know what you might be thinking.
Wait a second, isn't Iran the number one state sponsor
of terrorism?
Well, let's see. Here is my own copy of a
recent book written by Donald Trump before I became president
on page 20 of this book.
Time to get tough. Listen to what the president says,
then look at Saudi Arabia.
It is the world's biggest funder of terrorism.
Saudi Arabia funnels our Petro dollars,
our very own money to fund the terrorists that seek
to destroy our people while the Saudis rely on us
to protect them.
The president is correct. He is right that the enemies
of freedom and peace is the Saudi Kingdom,
not Iran. The Saudi Kingdom not only suppresses its own
people,
but they also attack freedom of speech and kill journalists
who speak against their oppressive rule.
Saudi Arabia makes a billion dollars a day.
OK, they make a billion dollars a day.
Saudi Arabia. If it weren't for us,
they wouldn't be there. They wouldn't exist.
They should pay us to go back to Saudi Arabia.
If they're a funder of terrorists,
why should we have? Why should we have diplomatic relations
with them at all?
Well, look, I'm not a big fan.
To be holding them more accountable.
Well, they treat women poorly.
The primary reason we're with Saudi Arabia is because we
need the oil.
Saudi Arabia has another connection to the US that many
people do not know about.
Many people are unaware that the US Federal Reserve,
the very institution that decides our monetary policy,
is owned by Saudi money.
The Federal Reserve Bank is not a bank.
It is owned by the richest European and some Saudi
money in the world.
Yes, the Federal Reserve is in the pockets of a
foreign power,
the Saudis. That is why they think they can kill
innocent people and get away with it.
So much for democracy. It gets worse.
You see, the Saudis want to make the world think
that Iran is your enemy,
but secretly they don't tell you they are jealous of
Iran's oil and they want to remove their main competition
in the Middle East.
The Saudi Kingdom wants sole access to Iran's customers so
that they alone can sell their oil to China and
India.
The Iran sanctions are part of an elaborate plot to
destroy Iran's economy
and to remove the major competitor to Saudi oil.
Now we need to remember something important about President Trump.
There is something that I respect about the president.
He is an isolationist. You see,
during the 2016 primary debates,
the president made it very clear that he does not
want another fake war in the Middle East.
Obviously, the war in Iraq,
it was a big fat mistake.
We should have never been in Iraq.
We have destabilized the Middle East.
I want to tell you they lied.
They said there were weapons of mass destruction.
There were none, and they knew there were none.
Donald Trump correctly criticized past US administrations for taking us
to war against Iraq so that they could start a
phony war in the Middle East.
And he was right. So here is what I think
is really going on.
President Trump broke the Iran nuclear deal because he wants
to make his own personal deal with Iran.
And that's OK. There's nothing wrong with that.
After all, we know that Donald Trump is a deal
maker.
But there is someone in the White House who wants
to stop the President from exercising his will.
This person does not want a deal.
He does not want peace,
he wants war. I'm talking about John Bolton who is
a hungry war monger.
John Bolton is a neo con who has been calling
for open war with Iran for many years.
Yes, there will indeed be hell to pay.
He is the very opposite of Donald Trump.
While the President wants nothing to do with another phony
war in the Middle East,
Bolton relishes the idea of another military conflict.
Why?
Because war equals profits for big business.
John Bolton is the architect of the Iran sanctions,
and he wants the sanctions for one purpose only,
to destroy Iran's economy, help the Saudi Kingdom,
and inflict maximum pain on the Iranian people.
The idea is very simple.
Push Iran into a corner until finally Iran has no
choice but to retaliate.
John Bolton wants to provoke Iran into military conflict,
and the sad fact is I think he will succeed.
Once Iran retaliates, John Bolton will say,
there you go, we told you that these are bad
people.
They started it, and now it's war.
I think the real objective here is to cause massive
instability inside of Iran,
potentially followed by military strikes.
I think the objective here is to just
truly try to shift the balance of power away from
Iran in the region and in favor of Saudi Arabia,
UAE, and Israel pushing the United States to go to
war with Iran.
In the meantime, sanctions will cause mass poverty in Iran.
The sanctions against Iran are not just unfair and unjust,
they are against Christian values and it's also against American
values.
Remember that the American Revolution and fight for independence happened
because the British had imposed harsh and unfair taxes on
the Americans
2000 years ago. The Romans had imposed harsh taxes on
the Jews and the early Christians.
So who can save us from another war?
As I've explained this video,
President Trump is against the idea of yet another costly
and phony war in the Middle East.
I pray that the President will succeed and keep his
promise and make a better deal with Iran
and end the suffering of the Iranian people.
None.
