War On Iran: Energy War Moves From Disruption To Destruction
The war on Iran continues to be the most important issue currently moving the world.
Israel and the U.S. are continuing their assassination campaign of Iranian officials. It was confirmed today that Ali Larijani, the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was killed by an Israeli airstrike on the house of his daughter. The strike caused several dozens of additional casualties. Larijani was a highly capable pragmatist, not a hardliner. His death is a loss for everyone who seeks peace in the Middle East.
Two of the leaders of the Iran’s voluntary Basji militia were also killed in Israeli airstrikes as was Iran’s Minister for Intelligence, Esmaeil Khatib.
None of these deaths will lower Iran’s will or capability to resist. It knows that it has is able to throttle the global economy via its control of the Strait of Hormuz and thus has the upper hand in any long term conflict. A some point the U.S. will have to agree (archived) with Iran’s end-of war conditions:
Iran’s strategic objective now is to impose such high costs on the United States and the Gulf states that Trump will opt for a cease-fire that includes a restriction on future Israeli actions. In essence, Iran wants to force him to choose between Israel’s security interests and the stability of global markets. The bottom line is that the war Trump started has no good ending.
Yet Israel today does not feel bound by any restrictions. It has just launched an attack, with U.S. backing, on Iran’s major South Pars gas field and other Iranian energy installations:
Israel has just bombed Iran’s largest natural gas processing facility in Bushehr Province. Israel stated that it conducted this attack in full coordination with the United States.
The attack is consistent with Israel’s strategy of aiming to destroy not only Iran’s military and military industries, but also its industrial base and its economy. Israel’s objective is not regime change but state collapse.
In this particular case there is I believe an additional motivation behind the Israeli attack. Iran has repeatedly indicated that if its energy infrastructure is attacked, this crosses a bright red line and that it will retaliate with attacks on energy infrastructure throughout the Persian Gulf.
If Iran does indeed respond in this manner, the prospects of direct participation in this war by Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states increases significantly. This is exactly what Israel would like to see, and would also explain why the US, which previously counseled against such attacks, now supports them and participates in their execution.
This attack is not only a demonstration of US-Israeli capabilities, but also of US-Israeli strategic failure and arguably of growing desperation as well.
Iran’s gas production is mostly used domestically. Its electricity production largely depends on its gas infrastructure. The strike is also a hit against Turkey which receives 15% of its gas consumption from Iran. Iraq will be hit hard too as its electricity production also depends on Iranian gas. A spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of Qatar condemned the attack.
The most rational response for Iran will be to hit Israel’s energy infrastructure. Strikes on Haifa and Israeli gas facilities will come too but Iran’s immediate response, as promised, were evacuation orders for five energy installation in its neighboring Persian Gulf countries:
🔸SAMREF Refinery – Saudi Arabia
🔸Al Hosn Gas Field – UAE
🔸Jubail Petrochemical Complex – Saudi Arabia
🔸Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex & Mesaieed Holding (Chevron-affiliated) – Qatar
🔸Ras Laffan Refinery (Phases 1 & 2) – Qatar.
According to Bloomberg the facilities are being evacuated. Energy prices in the commodity future market have risen in consequence of the strikes even though they are, due to manipulations, still much lower than real world prices (archived):
The growing disruption to supplies has driven a number of regional price benchmarks to all-time highs, even as global marker Brent has fallen back to just above $100 a barrel after jumping to nearly $120 in the early stages of the Iran war.
…
The price of a barrel of oil in Oman — which exports from ports outside the Strait of Hormuz — soared to nearly $154 on Tuesday, driven by intense competition for the small volumes still leaving the Middle East.
…
“Right now it feels like the paper and the physical market has dislocated,” said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. “[This is] the biggest disruption since the 1970s and Brent can barely hold above $100.”
The $100bbl is for light sweet crude while the market needs heavier variants as well as processed products:
Current spot prices for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel on the West Coast appear unhinged at $147/bbl; $162-$170/bbl; and $186/bbl until one considers that refiners in China, India, Japan and South Korea face physical crude costs that top $150-$155/bbl.
The strike on energy facilities in Iran has opened another level on the economic front of the war.
Blocking ship from passing Hormuz is disruptive. Striking energy facilities is destructive.
It will take a long time to repair the damage.
Muslim countries in alliance with Trump?! This is a mistake!
Donald Trump, having received a legal and just refusal from the European Union to participate in an illegal and aggressive war against Iran, which violates the UN Charter and international legal relations, has decided to create a military coalition against Iran, this time from the Muslim countries of the region. Why? Because the US and Israel are 100% losing this fascist-Talmudic war they started against Iran’s peaceful economic infrastructure and the Iranian people.
Dear citizens of our fragile and small planet, as you know, due to the negative international processes that arose after the collapse of the USSR, the US Presidency was assumed by a short-sighted individual with a fraudulent and criminal mentality, who Talmudic-mindedly rejects the US constitutional norms and international legal relations established by the UN. Therefore, in order to cover the US debt of over $38 trillion to the fraudulent and thieving Talmudists in the US, that is, before the private Federal Reserve System, he, in the interests of these Talmudists, who are the leaders of Christian Freemasonry, destroyed all social protections for the American people. And on the international stage, Donald has begun waging fascist wars of conquest, under 100% false and unfounded accusations, to rob and pillage other countries. He is reviving Talmudic imperialism. In other words, Donald Trump has transformed the United States into the gray wolf from Krylov’s fable, who accused the lamb of threatening the wolf’s vital interests. Let’s now consider what an honest person, an honest American, would do if they were President of the United States instead of Trump. He would have restructured this debt, that is, legally and fairly declared that the United States had no debt to the private Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, since this Reserve Fund had printed vast quantities of empty dollars, not backed by gold reserves, and fraudulently enriched itself at the expense of US government entities, which it had practically robbed for decades. Moreover, he would have obliged the Federal Reserve System to pay the US government a fair and substantial compensation, since all the wars waged by the US administration were waged in the interests of the financial and other enrichment of this Reserve Bank. Americans, in turn, received nothing but devastating debts. Therefore, the loans taken by the US government from this private Talmudic clan are, in reality, are money spent solely in the interests of the same Reserve Fund. Well, yes, that’s what an honest person would do. But Talmudist Donald Trump, naturally, acted differently. Why? Because he’s not a US citizen in the classical sense, but a citizen of Talmudic Christian Freemasonry, which is guided by the Talmud, not the US Constitution. Therefore, he believes that all Talmudists in the US government, as well as in the private banking system, should enrich themselves at the expense of all other peoples living in the US. He believes that only Talmudists have human and civil rights, while all others have no such rights, since, according to the Talmud, they must serve the Talmudists like animals, and must even die senselessly in their interests. Talmudists extend this same logic to all of humanity. In other words, Talmudism is parasitism on the body of the nation and all of humanity, which is why the deranged Hitler once rebelled against Talmudism. Why did the US and Israel twice wage war against Iran? Because they were jealous of Iran’s ability to develop economically better and faster than their own Talmudic countries. However, the profits from Iran’s economic success was wenting to the Iranian people, not to the Talmudic to the Freemasons of the US and Israel, what fueled envy and aggression. This is precisely why, like locusts, they are destroying Iran’s entire peaceful economic system, unable to defeat it militarily to seize its energy resources. Having essentially lost this Talmudic war, the US and Talmudic Israel attacked Iran’s oil and gas assets to provoke a retaliatory strike against US energy interests in the Muslim countries of the Middle East. Why? To incite the indignation of these Muslim countries and organize a military bloc against Iran, together with these countries of the region, which have long been intimidated and enslaved by the godless and stupid Talmudists of the US and Israel. As you know, genetic is not the real Cohen, that is, the silly pretty girl who works as Donald Trump’s secretary, after bombing the US gas infrastructure, proudly declared that the Talmudists have such reserve rotten plans up their sleeve. The vilely provoked speculative outrage of the Muslim countries of this region has enabled Donald Trump’s Talmudists to shamelessly appeal to the US Congress for another $200 billion to wage an anti-American and anti-human war. Therefore, I warn the Iranian leadership, as well as the Muslim countries of this region, not to succumb to this provocation. They must not fight among themselves in the interests of the Talmudists of “Israel” and the US, who, if they win, will surely enslave them all.I appeal to Turkey, which once controlled the territory of Palestine and Israel, to understand that Arabs and Jews have always lived in these territories since ancient times, but the Talmudic genetic ancestors of Benjamin Netanyahu and other Talmudists of “Israel” never lived there in ancient times; they are foreign invaders. Turks and Arabs are in the same religion of God, for whom there is no division among humanity into Arabs, Turks, Jews, Georgians, or other peoples. For God, all people and peoples are one humanity, some of whom are God’s people and peoples, and some are Satan’s, among whom are the Talmudists. Glory to the Almighty! Peace to your home, your country, and all humanity!
