'I Rule the White House': Will Bolton's ouster help Trump facilitate US-Iran negotiations?
unitedEditor | uwidata.com | 2019-09-15
Most analysts agree that Donald Trump's main motivation for dismissing his National Security Advisor, John Bolton, was that Bolton had been giving off the impression that he was the real decision-maker in the White House, while the president was merely a talking puppet. Looking at Trump's career, even before coming into office, it is clear …

The Pirates of Gibraltar
Sasan Fayazmanesh | counterpunch.org | 2019-09-13
On April 17, 2019, a tanker named Grace 1 left Iran for an unspecified destination with reportedly 2.1 million barrels of crude oil, worth some $130 million. According to a March 20 report in Reuters about how Iran tries to evade US sanctions, the Grace 1 was "Panamanian-flagged and managed by Singapore-based shipping services firm." The Grace 1, TankerTrackers reported, was built in 1997 and, given its age and size, was not allowed to dock at many ports. It therefore had a history of handling ship-to-ship fuel oil transfers at sea. It would typically receive fuel oil from Iran, the source stated, and then delive…
