Trump's War escalates as energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf region is under attack

Iran war escalates​

The Iran war is escalating sharply after an Israeli strike on Iran's vast South Pars natural gas field. Iran is threatening "zero restraint" and retaliating with attacks on energy infrastructure across the region, including in Kuwait and Qatar – pushing oil and gas prices even higher.

Iran escalated strikes on energy sites in neighboring Gulf states, including a key facility in Qatar, in response to an Israeli attack on South Pars, the world's biggest gas field. Oil and gas prices soared again as the strikes intensified the global energy crisis

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday would bring "the largest strike package yet" against Iran, as Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine said the military is continuing to attack deeper into Iranian territory.

The Washington Post reported that the Pentagon is asking for an additional $200 billion for the war. Hegseth said "that number could move" and "it takes money to kill bad guys."

What is gas in Dallas? It’s up to $3.55 at a Shell station.

They were against war before they were for it.

I have a feeling Trump is screaming at staff and throwing his sandwich against the wall.

Iran shot down an F-35.

They were against war before they were for it.

My thoughts on that topic are slightly different:

They are neither for nor against anything, they are mindless parrots with no will of their own, waiting to be told what to believe.

You are describing yourself again, Sybil. You cannot blame your problems on anybody else.

Argument from randU fallacy, Sybil. Making up numbers won't work.
Current price of oil is 94.68.

You spout off about all these imaginary "fallacies" and the best you can do for yourself is "I know you are but what am I?"

The reports are the F-35 was able to limp back to a US base and make an emergency landing
