In the dark of the night, Israel has struck Iranian facilities linked to South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the world, moving ahead towards a serious escalation.

Many Arabian countries like Oman have condemned the attack, calling it as a "Serious Escalation". Even the US President Donald Trump is against further strikes on Energy infrastructures in Iran (Yeah, how will USA loot them after regime change if that happens). But, we all know Israel, they rarely oblige to US desires.

Iran has already started to retaliate, launching strikes on significant energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.

What do you think, can this seriously escalate conflict? Let me know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, please join "BharatDefense". We really need your support.

Pretty sure the US was entirely aware of and in support of that strike and any statement contrary is just cowardly bullshit. Trump’s own statement denying US involvement is so transparently begging them to not bomb Qatar again that I can’t see any way to interpret it as anything but a narcissist meeting consequences and immediately shifting blame and trying to deescalate.

    Exactly, the US went for massive escalation with an attack on the world's largest gas field, and now wants to end such attacks. It's a really transparent tactic to try and control escalation. If Iran permits the US to decide when to escalate, their deterrence collapses and they will also lose the war. The energy infrastructure of the Gulf States will now burn and US escalation control remains a delusion.

    Public pushback against his master is very significant. Israel's response was "we're unlikely to do it again" is master taking the pushback under advisement. You should see hope for a wedge that can end the war, instead of speculation that there is no resistance to master.

    Hope for what? You are delusional if you take anything Israel says as true

    Remember the ceasefire in gaza?

    US is very busy pretending that Israel doesn't fully control them, and that Israel didn't force them into this war. Hope for US peace agreement with Iran.

    Ok, let's say they put a peace agreement with Iran. How would they force Israel to stop their attacks? Will Israel agree on peace too?

    I get it, I wanna cope this shit but let's be real the US has been doing stuff like this for a very very very long time and a 'peace agreement' better take into account repair costs for all the damage

    US and Iran can agree on opening SoH, and GCC immunity. Instead of writing a strongly worded cheque to Israel, the US can control Israel, by either cutting them off weapons, or making them pay cash up front instead of gifts. US has full agency over Israel, even if their love has only led to anal, historically.

    a ‘peace agreement’ better take into account repair costs for all the damage

    Iran will receive enough to declare victory, even if US can claim victory on denuclearization.

    is this just speculation of your part or is there a source for this? I know what Iran is demanding but I'm not seeing the US agreeing on this

    SoH is not closed. GCC production/export capacity is not completely zero yet. Iran controls it though. If US doesn't agree to peace, then any food/water imports to GCC and oil exports getting a 10% Iran tax/toll is a better deal for everyone than not letting shipping go through. Gulf oil has hit $165/bbl today. A month ago, GCC was happy getting $65/bbl. They are happy at any number "net" in between, as are their Asian customers. Paying in Yuan is not a "showstopper" problem for any of them.

    US language is rapidly de escalating, if you look for it.

    Israel has always controlled the US by playing both parties. Since Oct 7th, all money is for GOP, and any left over is for DNC to lose on purpose, while still fully praising genocide-lite. This blatant Israel-only-desperate war short circuting Mossad agent US negotiations with Iran, with top national security official resigning over Israel first war, and Marco Rubio admitting Israel forced the US to obey orders, puts the US in a vulnerable position of being caught pants down with Netanyahu's cock in their throat.

    US establishment's eagerness to be under absolute Israel control is unshakable, and so massive opportunities to control narrative, and punish detractors, is certain. However, absolute impotence towards Iran's will, and reality, is a bigger force facing US politics.

    The israelis lobbies are financed by american zionists not israelis. Americans kept voting for aipac backed politicians for decades. Americans are simply not using their power to stop israel
