Bankrupt the Revolution: The Money War Against Tehran

Every interceptor America fires over the Gulf costs millions; the oil that pays for the missile it stops still clears through ports, banks, and shell companies the West has the power to close. In this briefing, Gregg Roman opens the regime’s books: the ghost fleet hauling sanctioned crude to buyers who pretend not to know, the front companies washing the proceeds through friendly jurisdictions, the crypto rails built for the day the banks finally say no, and the clerical conglomerates that turn charity into empire. He will preview the campaign the Middle East Forum is building to end it, a boycott-and-divestment architecture that treats the regime’s crimes against its own people, the executions and the disappeared and the lawyers jailed for lawyering, as reason enough for any university, pension fund, or insurer to refuse the business of its enablers, and the sanctions gaps allied capitals could close tomorrow with a signature. Then the hard question: whether Washington will fight the money war as seriously as the shooting war, because the first has always financed the second. Tehran can replace launchers; it cannot replace liquidity. Empty the treasury, and the war ends where it began: at home.
