Two stories this week that keep circling the same drain: money from the right people, policy that pays them back, and nobody in Washington with the standing to stop it. The Iran war is not just a military operation – it’s a revenue event, and the beneficiaries are exactly who you’d expect.
The US Bombed Iran’s Oil Hub and Sold Oil to Hungary on the Same Day
On April 7, the U.S. bombed Iran’s Kharg Island – the hub for roughly 90% of Iran’s oil exports. On the same day, JD Vance flew to Budapest to finalize a deal selling American oil to Hungary. The optics alone are remarkable. The logistics are worse.
If you bomb the supply, then sell the replacement, you are not just fighting a war – you are running a market. The question is who benefits, and the answer involves people with direct financial stakes in both the bombing and the sale.
Kushner Takes $2 Billion From the Saudis and Negotiates a War That Makes Them Richer
Jared Kushner’s private equity firm has collected $87 million in management fees from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. The fund made zero returns for investors. Zero. The Saudis kept paying. Kushner is now one of the lead U.S. negotiators on Iran – a war that benefits Saudi Arabia more than any other country on earth, because Iran is Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil competitor.
In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was texting Trump insiders offering Saudi access, telling Anthony Scaramucci “you will have access unlike others.” Kushner does the same thing through a $2 billion investment fund. The delivery mechanism got fancier. The arrangement didn’t change.
Both of these stories are live now on rachelandthecity.com. If you want the full picture on who’s profiting from the Iran war – the suspects, the connections, the money – the GriftMatrix has the evidence boards. The Suspects page has the full lineup. It’s all there.
