Greasing the gears of global governance, both the US and Europe are acting in a coordinated manner to ensure the acceleration of the Iranian rial’s current plunge and drain the nation’s foreign-exchange reserves, according to Obama administration officials, the US Congress and European Union. The sanctions campaign has kicked into high gear and will begin to resemble the sanctions the US put on Iraq over decades, which led to the starvation of millions.

The legislation also attempts to seize the authority to ban on all outside insuring of Iranian companies, so that once Washington blows Tehran and greater Iran to bits, there won’t be any need by western banks to pay out. Other legislation calls for a blockage of investment in Iran’s energy sector by closing loopholes existing in the current sanctions.

Washington and Brussels is maintaining that Western sanctions are damaging Tehran’s financial outlook.
