Iran was never the real target — the British imperial system is. Bessent’s “Economic Fury” meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the end of Lloyd’s and London’s pricing racket, and the Hudson Institute’s Hail-Mary plan to send King Charles to save the Special Relationship.
Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London. The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks). It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat. With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.
