"Iranian missile attacks, combined with drone strikes and artillery fire from Iraqi Shia militias, have forced the withdrawal of US troops from that country. As of March 24th, all NATO troops have vacated territory ruled by the Federal government of Iraq, with only a few forces maintining presence in the Erbil region governed by the Kurdish Regional Government. In the space of three weeks, Iran has effectively liberated the country of Iraq, a country that had been under American occupation since 2003."
"If the blockade continues, it is only a matter of time before Gulf Arab States face mass starvation or, at the very least, hyperinflation if they attempt to import food via trucks or rail via Jordan, Syria, and Turkey. It’s debatable if such a land route would even have the necessary throughput to provide a fraction of the required food for the Gulf States.
At that point, these states will have no choice but to accede to whatever demands Iran places upon them, be it dedollarization, eviction of the US military from their countries, dumping US bonds and assets, or paying Iran a trillion dollars in reparations. Either they agree to Iran’s terms or face mass starvation and the overthrow of their monarchies."
