⚡Operations at Abu Dhabi’s Shah gas plant have been halted after a drone strike, disrupting one of the world’s largest ultra-sour gas facilities and raising concerns over energy and fertiliser supply chains.

According to reporting by The National, operations were suspended while damage is assessed. No injuries were reported.

The plant, operated by ADNOC Sour Gas (a joint venture between ADNOC and Occidental Petroleum), is the world’s largest ultra-sour gas processing facility and supplies roughly 20% of the UAE’s gas demand. It also produces significant volumes of sulphur, a key input for phosphate fertilisers and industrial chemicals.

The shutdown is expected to add pressure to already strained global fertiliser markets, amid wider regional tensions affecting energy and shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.

He's a Russian asset. They probably have something on him. He has already lifted some sanctions on them, and now this.
it is divide and conquer in action

they've killed tens if not more than a hundred thousand ethnic russians in the ukraine proxy war

they're lobbing drones and missiles at russia nonstop

now that they're going after china in a major way

tariffs, restrictions, venezuela, panama, iran;
they want to offer russia a poisoned chalice to betray china

it is realpolitik

no permanent friends, only permanent interest




this is beyond the pdf

often times, there are competing ideas within washington on how to dismantle the axis--russia, china, iran, north korea-- and their client states
to reinforce their primacy

the goal is the same
but factions favor different approaches

the democrats for instance wanted to give iran a nuclear deal that'll tie them to the western economy
keep putin forever engaged in a proxy war that'll degrade russia
and put the heat on china with steadily escalating military/economic pressure

if the pdf had not pulled out of the jcpoa nuclear deal
iran likely would not have sent as many shaheds to russia
and they would have been sending more crude to the eu instead of china

the pdf and his clique however

want iran degraded if not taken over
want russia to be weakened but viable
then go after china with everything they've got knowing they'll have no allies besides north korea
and then when they're done with china
return back to russia to mop them up




essentially the democrats wanted to make iran turkey 2.0
bring them to the side of the hegemony with carrots
while the republicans want to make iran syria/libya 2.0
both sides want to control iran but with different methods

on russia
the democrats favor the hegemony's conventional matchup against russia using proxies
while the republicans want to outflank the russians
essentially, cripple all russian partners and they'll become isolated and crumble like the soviet union

on china
the democrats think luring iran away and weakening russia hurts china
and then it's a waiting game until the next inevitable chinese economic downturn
to implement whatever devious plan they have
the republicans however have a literal, palpable fear of chinese conventional capabilities as they pull ahead even further every year
they believe waiting is too dangerous and want to attack china in every non-kinetic means possible today
but if you're going to do that
you also can't take on russia simultaneously

essentially
the dems want to take on russia before china
the reps want to take on china before russia

everything must be viewed threw this lens

this is why in alt political lexicon, the beltway is called a uniparty
dems and republicans are two sides of the same coin

And you think Isreal top politicians are not been eliminated?
We all know they are very very good in hiding numbers but blowing trumpet in their own wins.
They will tell you only 200 US personnel's are wounded while 2 died.
Isreal will tell you missiles hitting only open fields with little injury.
Only if you know how many of their top politicians are dead.
If they kill any Iranian top brass, they will come with the news of how they tracked him and eliminated him, then Netayahoo will come to press how they have been planning this for months blah blah blah but when they hit them, they hide it
honestly, i don't care about the casualties on the genocidal warts side

this war is against usrael

and iran must remain viable to see this to the logical end

the war ends when the us is hurt enough to get out of dodge like in vietnam
that's the prize

that's why you see the iranians emphasizing the strait of hormuz and the destruction of us installations they've built over 50 years

It is classic stupidity. They have no business being in office complex, manning checkpoints, wearing official uniform and using any mobile design. There is a documentary I watched on drug dealers on Chicago. They at a point wondered how fbi always knew their next step. They thought their were snitches in their circle. After popping a few suspect snitches, it did not stop. So they concluded that fbi and dea were listening to their phone calls. They ditched their phones and started using paper to communicate. Two drug dealers will meet and be communicating on paper. You write your question I write my response. After we burn d paper
Not possible in today's world but they can switch to more friendly nations. Russia and China, yes China will also spy on you but at least they are not a threat for now.

⚡Iran has executed a Mossad agent today.

Kourosh Keyvani, a spy for the Israeli regime who provided images and information about sensitive locations to Mossad, was executed after legal process and confirmation by the Supreme Court.

He was arrested, along with 30,000 euros in cash, a pickup truck, a cross motorcycle, various complex espionage, intelligence, and satellite communication devices, on the 4th day of the 12-day war, in one of his hideout villas in Savojbolagh County.

So that means isreal also has something on Trump. Because there is no way he will want to kill Americans, bring the world economy down, lose allies all because of Netanyahu

Is the rest of the world not under their leach so handicapped to do something about it?

What exactly is China and Russia doing to stop this rubbish?


China and Russia cannot do everything. They have tried. They're not the only countries in the world.

What you should be asking is why South American leaders, African leaders and Asian leaders are silent.

Non have even condemned the US, not once.

The European leaders are even condemning Iran for defending themselves. The world has gone mad.

My greatest joy right now is knowing that Europe has been purchasing goods from Russia using Rubles. Both Africa too. Russia is now 80% trading with the rest of the world using Rubles.

The US dollar noose is no longer around their neck. It's only a matter of time before other countries follow suit.

The US dollar is the number one source of US power. I say it here all the time but people don't believe me. Don't bother yourself fighting the US, just stop using the dollars globally and the US empire will die a natural death.

The reason this assassination has continued is because what else can Iran do other than launch their 478th ballistic missile?

Iran MUST acquire Nukes or they'll cease to exist.
Why is Iran not hunting the equivalents in Israel?

There's no way on earth Iran hasn't at least killed any Israeli official since this war began.

Even if they can't get the officials, they'll get their family.

And until we see Netanyahu giving a live press conference, it's safe to assume he's dead.

🤣😂😀

so it turns out the pdf and his coterie of 🤡🤡
decided to target oil/gas facilities in iran to push oil prices up
so that their nato and asian allies will be forced to join the naval coalition to reopen hormuz

i cannot overstate how f*cking m*****c that is

but persia thanks him for the gift




they are going for broke now

the political assassinations and the targeting of oil/gas facilities
out of ideas and all they have is further escalation

boots on the ground is next on the agenda
it'll be almost impossible to escape that escalation trap after this

the genocidal warts have pedolf bent over a barrel

emmaodet:
My question is what is Iran's goal? Because shooting missiles upon missiles don't collapse a country unless there is a goal.
Russia has been bombing Ukraine for good 3/4 years yet Ukraine is still standing.
The US/Isreal goal is clear - a regime change or balkanizing Iran.
So no matter how many missiles Iran shoots, if that goal is achieved, they will be satisfied.
In 5 years, cities can be rebuilt and enemy threat erased.
What is the goal of Iran?
the two primary goals of iran

send oil over its all-time high
$150+. $200+ is perfect

destroy us installations in the gulf and deplete precision munitions of both the offensive/defensive types
knowing that china's ban on rare earths make prompt replenishment impossible

the us will give iran what it wants when the pain dial gets high enough
primarily the economic pain
but their interceptor stockpile is not infinite

iran must avoid high profile meetings between politicos during this period

this attack was partly done to elicit chatter within the political class to obtain intelligence for further assassinations

no go gather for one office for tehran to discuss nonsense
a word to the wise is enough

What has china and Russia done collectively to clip the wings of US?

Kindly name 3.
(what has been done not what they want to do).

South American countries can't really do much because they can't defend themselves if they decide to do what you're suggesting, but when they know there are countries ready to defend them, they'll gladly do the above.

What did Russia and China do when the US invaded Venezuela?

What are they currently doing to stop the US from destroying Cuba?

Without getting nukes, non of these plans will make any difference.

They'll just pause, re-arm then come back for round 3.

They'll do it in a way that they won't give Iran time to repair their damaged oil and gas facilities.
