  1. You are not too far from the truth. Gaza’s Hamas being backed by Iran is all about Iran trying to gain more influence in the Arabian Peninsula. It is really less about the oil, as Cappy unreasonably pointed out in his pretty reasonable video. The US was oil independent just 1 President ago, and can be again with a little regulation loosening. During different periods of time, Iran/Persia controlled large swaths of the Middle East. Iran already indirectly controls the Iraqi holy cities of Najaf and Karbala after the second gulf war. Eventually taking control over Jerusalem (The Temple Mound / Al-Aqsa Mosque / The Dome of the Rock), Medina, and Mecca would place Shia Islam on the top of the world pecking order. With Iranian Houthi dominated Yemen (holding the 2nd largest Army in the Arabian Peninsula) to the South [fighting Saudi Arabia & declaring war on Israel], Iranian supported Palestinians in Gaza starting the latest war with Israel, Iranian controlled Hezbollah firing from the North in Israel… the Holy Cities all lie in a small stretch in between Iranian backed forces. Once controlled is gained by Iran, they announce they are a nuclear power, and it is checkmate. This has the potential to be a nightmare, after Russia set the stage for Persia/Iran by destroying a lot of food exports from Ukraine to the Arab regions. The US is really a minor blip in this ethnic turning religious conflict, dating back thousands of years…
