Today, Israel attacked Oil Depots in Tehran, which caused a humongous fire and smoke cloud. The locals described the attack as "Apocalyptic". It was literally to them like the earth was going to end.

US upon being notified of the attack, many sources claim US sent a WTF message to Israel. This can be marked as the first dispute between these two allies since the start of their attacks on Iran.

Iran has retaliated by attacking Oil Depots of Israel in Haifa. The damage has been reported significant. The question is, will this 'Oil Brawl' stop? Will USA be able to protect the destruction of the very thing it wants monopoly on? Will USA be able to stop or atleast make Israel less aggressive?

I don't think so, because Israel on such matters rarely listens to USA. But yes, it may reduce attacks on oil resources for sure, but stopping is not a question, not until the US contribution in war is at stake atleast.

What do you think about this? Let me know. To all Indians and people who like our content, it is a humble request, please join "BharatDefense". We need your support.

    If the US regime actually wanted to stop Israel, they could stop sending them boatloads of money and materiel. The fact that they haven't stopped materially supporting Israel renders all of this hemming and hawing about how the US allegedly doesn't like it moot. It's all theater to keep the Western public from questioning the narrative.

    Yeah about the only thing we got was Biden's recorded discontent with Israel's failure to hide the obvious in Gaza.

    And even for that he did literally nothing, despite the fact that it actually would have helped his reelection campaign significantly.

    But if it’s theater, the US comes out as weak and authority-less, being unable to reign in a small country like Israel and letting themselves thrown in like this. I think the idiots in the US government just don’t know what they’re doing, no vision nor learning from the past. The ties with Israel are just deep enough that the cash and weapon flow won’t ever be questioned and - even if your point stands - I don’t think it’s a crafted narrative. They thought they are in control, but they aren’t.

    It's absolutely fantastic to think that the US wasn't in the room planning those strikes.
