“An Art to Make People Suffer” — Seyed Mohammad Marandi exposes Western sanctions as deliberate cruelty—and the coarsening face of a declining empire. Iranian academic Seyed Mohammad Marandi identifies a deliberate cruelty in Western policy, exemplified by a book titled The Art of Sanctions. “It’s an art to make people die. It’s an art to make people suffer,” he states. “That’s how the Western regimes think about the rest of humanity.” He frames this as historic hypocrisy, recalling that Saddam Hussein used German chemical weapons against Iran in the 1980s. “The very same German regime that today preaches human rights is supporting genocide in Gaza. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.” For Marandi, sanctions are warfare. He describes families selling possessions for cancer treatment, only to be blocked. “You’ve sold your car to buy the medicine, and then you can’t complete the process because access is blocked.” The author’s pride in making staples like chicken inaccessible reveals a chilling ethos: “He says it with pride. This is as evil as it gets.” This cruelty, Marandi argues, reflects a global pattern of aggression from Cuba to Gaza. “The United States and the Europeans—they’re genocidal regimes,” he asserts. “What threat is Cuba? But they want to crush the country.” While American rhetoric champions democracy, its actions reveal a declining, coarsening empire. “Trump is more crude,” Marandi notes. “He says, ’The oil is mine. The oil is ours.’” This brutality spans administrations but is now more naked. “The empire is slipping away,” he contends. “But as it slips, it becomes more aggressive, crude, violent, and vicious—openly.” His conclusion is stark: the world is seeing through the facade. “Their talk of human rights and dignity is all fake. The rest of the world is waking up.” The cruelty, he insists, is systemic: “The regime—I don’t mean ordinary people.”
