The U.S. State Department quietly announced over the weekend the defunding of a social media trolling project that targeted outspoken critics of the Trump administration’s foreign policy on Iran.
The Twitter account, @IranDisinfo, is run by the Iran Disinformation Project under the auspices of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), and “exposes and counters the nefarious influence of one of the world’s few remaining totalitarian regimes.”

As Trump Administration officials continue to talk up war with Iran, one would expect the reporters assigned to the Pentagon to be working overtime to get the specifics of what is happening. But that’s not happening.

A new Pentagon report released on Thursday says China’s military capabilities are “increasingly able to project power” and “contest U.S. military superiority.”

The lies about what is really happening in Venezuela continue to pile up. Washington’s lead swamp viper, John Bolton, is pushing a conspiracy theory that Cuba has deployed up to 25,000 ‘security forces’ inside the Bolivarian Republic.

Undoubtedly, this latest flooding crisis in Iran reveals the highly vicious nature of the current U.S. Administration with regards to the application of collective punishment of a target nation.
Iranian president Hassan Rouhani has lashed out at the US sanctions regime, stating how punitive economic sanctions have hampered the international flood relief effort meant to bolster humanitarian relief operations in his country.

The final version of President Trump’s long-anticipated Middle East peace plan has not been reached, according to officials, but all indications are that it will give Israel all they want and then some, and the Palestinians will get effectively nothing.

Watch what happens when this globalist instrument of war addresses the US Congress. Cue the applause…

Iran remains as one of the US and Israel’s primary targets in achieving regional hegemony over the Middle East and Central Asia. As economic warfare against Iran continues, so will a sanctions busting posture with its trade partners.
