A Global Economic Embargo of Iran

Iran stands as one of the greatest threats to global peace and prosperity. The regime in Tehran leverages its oil wealth to fund terrorist cells around the world, including within the United States. These actions undermine international stability, foment conflict, and threaten the safety of nations worldwide.

The pathway to global peace and prosperity necessitates the elimination of radical Islam, which finds its heart and financial lifeline in Iran. However, a military confrontation with Iran poses enormous risks. Such a conflict could rapidly escalate into a nuclear affair, potentially leading to the loss of billions of lives and playing into the hands of destructive forces.

Neutralizing the threat of Iran is best done by initiating a global economic embargo against Iran. By cutting off the economic resources that fuel its malign activities, we can weaken the regime's capacity to support terrorism and suppress its citizens.

Key Points of the Embargo Proposal:

  1. Unified Global Action: All nations must come together to impose a comprehensive economic embargo, ceasing all trade and financial transactions with Iran.

  2. Targeting Oil Exports: A critical component of Iran's economy, the embargo must specifically target the country's oil exports, depriving the regime of its primary source of revenue.

  3. Financial Sanctions: Freeze Iranian assets held in foreign banks and restrict Iran's access to the global financial system.

  4. Humanitarian Exemptions: Ensure that the embargo does not adversely affect the Iranian people by allowing exceptions for humanitarian aid, such as food, medicine, and other essential goods.

  5. Diplomatic Isolation: Increase diplomatic pressure on Iran by reducing or severing diplomatic ties and isolating the regime on the international stage.
