Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR

[Kingpin]

Because when has Israel ever wasted an opportunity to inflict damage (economic, social, political) on an Arab neighbor?

Arab?

“No more stupid rules of engagement”

“… maximum lethality, not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct“

Arab?

My apologies. Like most Americans, I am ignorant and clumsy in my knowledge of the various groups in the region. I know Iran is Persian. I was incorrectly using Arab to describe all nations in the region outside of Israel.

A gallon of gasoline goes up about two and a half cents for each dollar increase in a barrel of oil. A $25 increase per barrel of oil would indicate an increase of $0.50-0.75/gallon at the pump.

Pay attention to the price of diesel.

Gas prices are up $0.47/gal (16%), but diesel is up $0.84/gal (22%). Farmers and truckers are getting hit hard, and those increases show up in consumer goods and groceries.

Somehow, it will be Biden’s fault.

Non American outlets are saying it's a lot more than that. I don't trust any US media outlet or the current admin.

I hope it's only eight but I sure do doubt it.

Why the hell would we be striking merchant vessels? What is the operational goal of that?

Same as the oil embargo of Cuba — starve the ruling government of resources?

The people leading Iran are the same terrorists leading Gaza.

The people leading the war against Iran are the same terrorists committing genocide in Gaza.
