So after 19 days of non stop bombing, Iran still has the capability to pre-announce to the world that they’re going to hit Qatari energy facilities and then successfully execute it.

You made more noise about Israel vs Hezbollah. We all know how it ended. Rest!!!

⚡A major airline is canceling flights due to soaring fuel prices.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) said it will be canceling 1,000 flights in April due to the rising oil and jet fuel prices amid the conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

“We are canceling a couple of hundred flights during March, but are trying to protect our traffic as much as possible,” SAS CEO Anko van der Werff told Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Industri.

Most of the canceled flights in March were domestic routes in Norway, with a few affected Sweden and Denmark, according to a SAS statement to AFP.

“Given the ongoing situation in the Middle East, including the sharp and sudden increase in global fuel prices, we are taking measures to strengthen our resilience,” the statement said.

“One such measure is a limited number of short-term flight cancellations.”

I kind of understand why he wants us to move there. It's just not convinient for most of us here

⚡NASA FIRMS satellite data now corroborates fires at Ras Laffan, Qatar including at the Shell Pearl GTL plant, the world's largest gas-to-liquids facility, and the QatarEnergy Condensate refinery.

MODIS thermal anomaly detections from March 18 show two fire points at 100% confidence, with a Fire Radiative Power reading of over 1,400 megawatts. For context, that is an exceptionally large industrial fire.

Qatar's Interior Ministry has confirmed the fires following alleged Iranian missile strikes.

Ras Laffan supplies a significant share of global LNG. Shell Pearl alone processes 140,000 barrels of liquid products per day.

If Iran likes, they should believe such. I just dey happy for these new sets of leaders. No negotiations, no discussions. Just tit for tat and collective punishment.

emmaodet:
The Qataris, Saudis, Omanis, Emiratis all feel so invicibles and untouchable with so much wealth, security guarantee from the US and thereby started sponsoring rebels round the world feeling like Boss.
Now, they can feel how painful it is financing rebels in Somalia, Sudan etc
The havocs, hardships, economic setbacks that comes with destabilizing a nation.

Gospelpreacher1:
WATCH:

Just 3 months before President Trump’s election, Joe Kent appeared on the Shawn Ryan Show, stating Iranian proxies had attacked U.S. troops over 150 times.

Kent states escalation was the logical path absent of policy change.

Trump then attempted diplomacy with Iran, which failed.

Yet now Kent suddenly claims Iran posed “no imminent threat.”

What changed? Logic no longer seems to guide him.

Kastonkastroll:
Why do I even think the ramadan fast is holding the Iranians to go full bad-a** mode!

Anyway war is bad sha! And hopefully common sense will override arrogance.

Holiness2100:
Qatar expels Iranian diplomats following tonight's attack

Following the Iranian attack tonight on the oil facilities in Ras Laffan, Qatar is expelling the military attaché and the security attaché at the Iranian embassy in Qatar.

They have been declared persona non grata and given a 24-hour ultimatum to leave Qatari territory.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry announced that it will take further measures if the Iranian aggression continues.

LordAdam16:
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

Tucker Carlson: Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?

Joe Kent: No, they weren't. They weren't in June either.

The Iranians have had a religious ruling, a fatwa, against actually developing a nuclear weapon since 2004. That's been in place since 2004.

That's… pic.twitter.com/dYhuq5UDwo
