"Don't you keep saying we're brothers? Then why are you blocking Iraq's oil tankers?"
Iraq's parliament speaker Halbousi describes his heated exchange with Ghalibaf over the Strait of Hormuz.
His point: you talk endlessly about "brotherly ties" and "deep bonds" — so why stop ships carrying Iraqi oil?
Ghalibaf's answer: "We cannot make exceptions."
The same officials claimed their fight was only with Israel, the US, and states at war with them. Iraq wasn't. Neither were Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar or the UAE — yet missiles and drones still landed on their soil and the bases there.
Then the humiliating twist:
One day later, the Islamic Republic officially announced Iraqi oil could pass.
The parliament speaker's "no" lasted 24 hours. Decisions are made elsewhere — he isn't even in the room.
This is the isolation they refuse to admit.
What do you make of it? Comment below and share this with someone who needs to see it.
