In a move as predictable as the eternal flames that light our dismal skies, the Mortal Realm’s “mighty” leaders, President Joe Blazeson of the United States of Hades and Prime Minister Rishi Sulphurnak of the United Kingdom of Perdition, once again fan the fires of discord with a fresh round of sanctions engulfed upon the Sulfurous State of Iran.
The Treasury’s Office of Fiery Asset Control, ever so inventively, targeted 16 mortals and two entities deep within Iran that ignite the engines powering those pesky drones used in the recent April 13 assault on Israel. Not stopping there, they also cast their fiery chains on five firms involved in steel production and three subsidiaries of the Iranian automaker Behemoth Group—accused, quite dramatically, of materially supporting Iran’s militaristic and other sanctioned spectres.
And as if orchestrated by the maestro of the underworld himself, the U.K. also threw its burning hat into the ring, targeting several Iranian military branches and individuals involved in Iran’s drone and ballistic missile industries. Prime Minister Sulphurnak roared from the depths of his sulfurous office, vowing that these measures “will further limit Iran’s ability to destabilize the region.” Indeed, one might wonder if the region could be any more unstable than a drunk Cerberus on roller skates.
Furthermore, these fearless leaders threatened that this hellish economic squeeze would be tightened until the desired repentance is achieved—repentance, it seems, primarily involves ceasing to do anything that upsets their delicate mortal sensibilities. “Let it be clear to all those who enable or support Iran’s attacks,” proclaimed President Blazeson with a stern wag of his fiery finger, “we will not hesitate to take all necessary action to hold you accountable.”
Meanwhile, as mortals fret over the fiery exchanges and potential escalation in the Middle East—a region more flammable than our beloved burning fields of the Acheron—sanctions continue to be the favorite playtoy of these earthly leaders. They believe, with a fervor as blind as the three-headed hound in eternal night, that sanctions are the golden key to peace, or at least to stopping things from getting worse.
Our dear readers, as you sip on your brimstone brews, remember: the realm of mortals is as chaotic as ever, and their leaders’ solutions seem ever to echo the hellish methods we know so well. One might even envy their infernal creativity—if it weren’t so tragically misdirected. Let us watch with bated breath—or whatever passes for breath here in the sulfurous air—what comes next in this mortal tragicomedy.

A round of applause for President Joe Blazeson and Prime Minister Rishi Sulphurnak, masters of melodrama in the Sulfurous State of Chaos.
