Interview: A War for Oil: US Quest to Control the World’s Oil Trade

"Trump opted to attack Iran despite progress at indirect US-Iran negotiations."

The reason "has nothing to do with its getting an atom bomb". The reason is US control of oil.

"The Trump administration may've been after the ability to turn off the power to countries that don’t follow US foreign policy".

A War for Oil: Economist Michael Hudson on U.S. Attack Quest to Control Global Economy

We speak with economist Michael Hudson, who details how President Trump opted to attack Iran despite progress at indirect U.S.-Iran negotiations. “The whole reason that America has attacked Iran has nothing to do with its getting an atom bomb,” but instead the aim was U.S. control of oil, says Hudson. The Trump administration may have been after the ability to “turn off the power” to countries that don’t follow U.S. foreign policy, he says.

As long as I can remember US Middle East Policy has been all about oil with a little Israel worshipping attached.
