We have all heard of the fable of ‘sour grapes’.
It says a fox, after several failed attempts to pluck a cluster of juicy grapes dangling above on a grapevine, and each time falling down on it’s now badly bruised face, realized the futility of its over ambitious leaps.
It finally hung down its head and left, grumbling "the grapes are sour”.
At least the fox was wise enough to leave, rather than risk a more bloodied nose and most probably lose its life in a string of suicidal bids.
We are not sure whether the US, or more properly the thuggish regime of Donald Trump, has any commonsense left in its stone-like skull to realize the folly of trying to browbeat the Islamic Republic of Iran into submission.
Although like the fox in the fable, the White House has cooked up a story of seizing what it claims ‘four oil tankers bound for Venezuela’, in a vain bid to satisfy its over-inflated ego following the failure of its terrorist policies to disrupt Tehran-Caracas ties, it is still lingering in a region where anytime its soldiers might end up in body bags, if not watery graves.
It is clear the US has been outfoxed in not just the Persian Gulf and the entire West Asian region, but all over the world, including the Mediterranean, the South China Sea, and even its own neighbourhood in the Caribbean Sea.
The ties between Iran and Venezuela are firm and flourishing with all sorts of basic supplies reaching the Latin American country from fuel to foodstuffs, as is evident by the brisk trading in Caracas at "Megasis” the Iranian hypermarket (Supermercado in Spanish) which under one roof houses as many as 2,500 different products, including the fabled Persian carpets, Iranian marble, and construction materials.
The alleged seizure of supposedly four oil tankers (neither carrying Iranian cargo nor Iranian-flagged) is beginning to embarrass the lying, cheating, and idiotic administration of Trump who is notorious for the lies he habitually utters.
It is nothing but a clumsy attempt to deflect attention from the miserable failure of the roguish regime in Washington to win any support, even from its traditional allies the Europeans, at the recent UN Security Council session in New York to extend the arms embargo against Iran – due to expire in October.
To quote, Iran’s Ambassador to Venezuela: "Yet another lie and psychological warfare by the US propaganda machine. The tankers are neither Iranians, nor their owners or flags have anything to do with Iran.”
Hojjat Soltani added: "The terrorist Trump just wants to cover up the humiliation of his failure against the great nation of Iran by resorting to false propaganda.”
Even the authorities in Caracas have dismissed the fake report, saying no fuel was bound for Venezuela from the Persian Gulf.
In view of these undeniable facts, it is still not late for the outfoxed US to follow the example of the fox in the fable and leave the region, instead of trying to poke its already bloodied nose in the affairs of Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf region, where its latest blunder in forcing the client Aal-e Nahyan tribal regime of UAE to set up formal diplomatic relations with the illegal Zionist entity, will very soon turn out to be a major catastrophe for all the dirty players involved.
