US aims to reduce Iran's oil revenue to zero

US-Israeli task force established to stoke internal pressure in Iran – report

Israel and the US have established a joint task force geared toward exploiting and amplifying internal pressure on the Iranian regime, Channel 10 news reports.

The report says a recent meeting in Washington between Israel’s National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and his American counterpart, John Bolton, focused on strategy for turning up the heat on the government in Tehran.

The Islamic Republic has seen multiple mass protests and the reported deaths of several demonstrators in the past week, due to a water crisis and worsening economic conditions triggered by the US pullout from the nuclear deal.

The report quotes a senior Israeli official as saying that the goal of the task force isn’t to topple the regime. (“No one thinks” that can be done, he is quoted as saying.)

Rather, he says, its aim is to exploit internal pressure in Iran in order to force the ayatollahs to “change their behavior.”

Israel wants an end to support of Palestinian factions and is not concerned with the rest of Iranian policies. Israeli lobby in US is influential and will use Trump to their advantage to instill some policies in the Middle East. Like this one or the more important embassy move in Jerusalem. If he gets impeached or if he loses next term, they're hoping some of these policies will be continued under new leadership/administration.

If this effort succeeds, Iran is going to try to find ways to affect Saudi oil supply(they can't counter any way else). This effort is going to cause more destabilization of the region and you wonder what the end game is here....

Iran does not need to sell oil. Others need to buy oil from Iran.
Iran is less than 5% of total world oil export.

If Iran stops selling oil its economy will totally collapse to Zimbabwe level.

What about other countries? - Well oil prices will rise to about 90$ at most. Then the output of shale oil in US will increase, Saudis will increase output as well and oil prices will return back. That's about it.

Iran hasn't attacked anyone in 200 years, it has done nothing but defend itself. Can't say the same about certain countries who like to lecture others about human rights.

A few years ago they attacked a Saudi embassy @Saif al-Arab

If that point come iran will attack israel

The Forum is pro Iran.

Your Indianness is letting you down again Hans Zolden Kumar
To me it appears to be pro Iran Pro Bangladesh, even pro India, overall Pakistan is the only country that is being treated like sowteeli aulaad here
But guys what would happen if Iran close the straight
It can't and it won't
You forgot to add Zia and his creation of sectarian militant groups targeting Shias in Pakistan. I witnessed the sectarian conflict blow up in Karachi. The state did nothing but watch while thousands of Shias were being targeted for no reason other then being Shia it was then that Iran naturally found a way in Pakistan otherwise Iranian meddling in Pakistan was next to nothing.
Shias were killing others for a long while, long before the arrival of students from Saudi funded madaaris who took up arms against them. Zia after capitulating to Shias just sort of ignored the whole thing and looked the other way.
If that point come iran will attack israel
It won't

Why do you equate Iran with shia sect?

The regional conflicts cannot be explained by Religion. Even though they have used Religion Historically to flare up morale.

Arabs and persians dont get along. Its not Rocket science.

What is your Obsession with Religion?

Truth hurts doesn't it? Yes the rivalry between Arabs and Persian is very old but why were Pakistani Shias being butchered for no reason other then Pakistanis trying to be good little slaves of Arabs, I believe you're one of those butthurt Saudi slaves. People like you have destroyed Pakistan.

Oh please, after the Iranian revolution, the Iranian government made it it's mission to spread the Shia extremist revolution to other Islamic countries. The Saudis got scared, because it was a threat to their regime, so they spread a counter revolution in the form of Sunni extremism.

Don't excuse Iran, and place all the blame on one man.

Zia didn't start this, he just made it worse.

Saudis just pissed they had more competition to spread poison and terrorism. Saudis have been funding terrorism since they made alliance with Abdul Wahab.
