Energy Secretary Ed Miliband answered questions on the BBC. Responding to a question about what they would do if people’s energy costs increased due to the US-Israel-Iran war, he said, “We will intervene if necessary.”
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday programme with Laura Kuenssberg, Miliband hinted at the possibility of intervention in fuel taxes and energy bills if the impact of the Gulf crisis necessitated it, but did not elaborate on how this would happen. They could implement partial reductions in energy prices.
The government should also be able to do something else. They should persuade the US and Israel to end the war. This is the quickest way, so that the whole world can relax; we would be doing a great service not just to the UK but to the whole world.
FROM HELPING THE IRANIAN PEOPLE TO MAKING THEM TERRORISTS
Meanwhile, Israel has launched a larger operation. This time they are hitting much more important facilities and believe they will subdue Iran. Iran is retaliating. Trump, as usual, continues his contradictory statements. In a previous speech, he used a contradiction within the same sentence. First, he definitively stated that China, Britain, and France would send ships to the Strait of Hormuz, then later said it was a possibility. There’s a US that doesn’t know what it’s doing, that has no plan. Facing a state like Iran, the question of whether the USA is a paper tiger has also begun to be debated. The military has technological superiority, but it lacks intellectual superiority, it has no foresight. They are naive enough to think they can conquer Iran in four days. Now it’s becoming clear that they have no plan whatsoever regarding the start and end of the war.
Trump, on the other hand, used his latest absurdity against the Iranian people. Previously, Trump said he would liberate the Iranian people from the mullah regime, and therefore the people should support him. When the people did the opposite, he started calling the Iranian people “terrorists.”
Does the American people deserve such a person as president? Yes, unfortunately they do.
