- Iran’s new budget for 2024-2025 significantly increases oil and gas revenues for military groups
- Despite sanctions, Iran continues to export oil, mainly to China and Syria, funding groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
- US and European sanctions have been implemented, but the execution has been fledgling.
The ongoing Israeli war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran is currently ruling geopolitics and media headlines. At the same time, US presidential elections in the coming weeks could refocus the discussion on the need to increase Western sanctions on Iran. Without any question, current sanctions regimes are flawed, not only due to a growing division of global powers but also to a lack of hardline implementation of existing or future sanction regimes. The need is clear, especially when looking at the latest news coming from Iran. Tehran has proposed a fourfold increase of oil and gas revenues going to the hardline extremist military group IRGC, which is on the sanctions list of most OECD countries already. Iranian sources have stated that the new Iranian government’s budget bill (2024-2025) shows that more than 50% of total oil and gas export revenues will flow into the coffers of the Iranian Armed Forces. At the same time, the Iranian government will receive around 37.5% of the total oil and gas export revenues, slated to be around EUR24 billion. Taking the latter figure, EUR12 billion will go to the Armed Forces. This includes the Army, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and the Law Enforcement Forces (LEF). The budget also stated that 42.5% of the remaining funds would go to the government’s operating budget, while 6.5% is linked to “special projects” as in nukes. An analysis of the budget shows that around 583,000 bpd of Iran’s crude oil and gas exports is allocated for the military budget, based on an official budget oil price of EUR57.5 And they are getting over EUR72 for their oil. 3,000,000 BPD WORTH.
NN: Maybe you can appreciate Israel’s CRISES. Iran wakes up ever day chanting death to Israel, death to America. Twice they launched the biggest rocket attacks in world history. Including the last one that launched 300 ballistic hyper sonic missiles. If such attack’s were launched at cities in America say New York city Their would be hundreds of thousands dead. New York has no bomb shelters, no incoming air raid warning system and no ability to shoot down even one incoming rockets.
So maybe you can understand that very soon the Iranians are going get the shit blasted out of them And they could vey well run out of virgins. They have few surface to air defense systems and no bomb shelters for their masses. And if Iran gets the bomb their will be a remnant of Jews left in Israel
