Iran was caught red-handed, again, breaking sanctions imposed by both the United States against them and the European Union against Syria. Despite using three different types of subterfuge, U.S. intelligence alerted the United Kingdom of a Iran’s attempt to smuggle oil to Syria.
Now, Iran in threatening retaliation against the United Kingdom, going so far as to say they’ll take back their oil tanker by force or that they may seize a British oil tanker as payback, according to Lucas Tomlinson.
Vice President for research and policy at Charles Koch Institute William Ruger warned against U.S. involvement in the Middle East to the point that it escalates to war with Iran. “Electorally, it doesn’t make sense to get into another endless war in the Middle East.”
He is correct, but there’s a fine line between being sensible and getting played. The lack of action by the Obama administration following Syria’s crossing of President Obama’s “red line” ended up creating the migrant crisis in Europe. One lack of action has fundamentally changed Europe for the foreseeable future, and it was totally avoidable had President Obama acted when he had the opportunity.
President Trump and the United States military are playing a very delicate game with Iran. They are irrational with their decisions and policies, but in a way they’re also very predictable. This is why the United States was able to easily determine a ship claiming to be from Panama, managed by a Singapore company, and carrying Iraqi oil was actually Iranian and headed for Syria.
The extreme military presence in the Middle East for the United States now should be enough to dissuade Tehran from getting too aggressive, but we must not take for granted that they’re to the point of being willing to do just about anything. They’re “Twelver” mentality combined with being backed into an economic corner means they may be willing to try anything.
Iran is losing steam. That makes them dangerous because they’re desperate, but as long as we keep a close eye on them and respond appropriately to the aggressive actions, we can stave off war and protect America’s interests in the region.
We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
