Is there a panic in the White House and Pentagon?
You can bet your ass on that.
This is the FIRST time when the US met with the opposition which wipes out US operational rear assets and is ready to go into the blow exchange, tit for tat.
Not since Vietnam, the US actually finds itself facing the REAL opposition and REAL war.
Unlike it is the case in 404 where the US military hides behind the backs of 404 cannon fodder.
The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international humanitarian law.
Zionaziland can’t really be a strong chosen country when u can’t protect your own chosen leader.

Reports Claim Saudi Ababia has shut down one of their biggest facilities the Ras Tanura Oil Refineries after Iranian drone strike.
The U.S. striking Kharg Island could possibly be linked to potential Iranian retaliation on Ras Tanura.
Iran Targets Saudi ‘Crown Jewel’: Should Ras Tanura Be on High Alert After Kharg Island Bombing?
“Last year, as EurAsian Times reported, Tehran warned that any attack on Kharg Island’s oil facilities would prompt retaliatory strikes on Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura facility, one of the world’s largest oil refineries.”Ras Tanura’s significance cannot be overstated. As Saudi Arabia’s largest refinery, it processes up to 550,000 bpd of crude oil into refined products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, and LPG, serving both domestic and international markets.
This makes it integral to the kingdom’s economy, where oil accounts for nearly 40% of GDP and over 70% of export revenues.
Located in the Persian Gulf, the massive complex funnels oil from major fields via pipelines, supplying customers in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Any disruption at this facility, like the 2019 drone attacks by Houthis, can send shockwaves across the world.
However, its proximity to the volatile Strait of Hormuz makes it a potential target for Iranian strikes. Analysts warn that full-scale damage could significantly reduce Saudi exports, triggering a worldwide oil crisis.
Comments from the Peanut Gallery
If Ras Tanura hit is confirmed oil volatility goes nuclear.That’s not just a refinery that’s a global pricing anchor.
Putin is smiling ear to ear at the thought of $150/barrel Oil.
That will do miracles for the oil price MondayBare Bones
The Future Isn’t What It Used to Be
Disney’s new Animatronics have eyes that can blink with human like accuracy due to AI
Trumpturd has no strategy
About anything
He is as shallow a thinker as has ever been on the world stage.
So he attacked the main Iranian terminal at Kharg Island.
Which gave the Iranians the Green Checkered Flag to attack Saudi oil refineries, pipelines and tanks,
PERMANENTLY disabling them so that even if the Strait is opened there will be NOTHING TO PUMP.
Brilliant
So all oil infrastructure in West Asia is now a target thanks to Trumpturd.
Well even assuming someone tries to repair the oil infrastructure in any short amount of time in the near future, even the repair crews can be attacked making the total oil export from West Asia near ZERO for the foreseeable future.
Iran is taking Trumpturd apart…
Five US Air Force refueling planes were struck and damaged on the ground at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia.
Boeing can ‘repair’ them, by hand, in maybe five years at 100% plus cost
hahahaha

Speaking of Supply Chain FUBAR
Most silver doesn’t come from silver mines.
It comes out as a byproduct of copper, lead, and zinc refiningOperations that depend on hydro-metallurgical processes requiring industrial quantities of sulfuric acid.
[Sonofabitch]
Sulfuric acid is produced as a byproduct of sour crude refining.
The same Hormuz closure that’s strangling oil flow is, with a lag of weeks to months, also strangling the chemical inputs that base metal smelters depend on.
Refineries shuttered around the Gulf means sulfuric acid production dropping means hydro-metallurgical operations halting means silver byproduct output falling.
The crisis that is draining the [global silver] vaults is simultaneously choking the pipeline that would normally refill them.
Helium Madafas!
And a detail that’s buried in the supply chain news:
Qatar’s LNG shutdown has also taken out roughly a third of global helium supply.
Helium is irreplaceable in chip fabrication.
No alternative exists at Qatar’s volume.
The AI boom that was supposed to save the economy needs chips that need helium that comes from a country currently telling its entire population to stay indoors.Hahahahaha

Great Strategic Thinking.
The US has two months of rare earth materials remaining.
Two months.
The radars being destroyed across the Gulf require Yttrium (39).
China holds 98% of global production and banned exports
The destruction is, in practical terms, permanent.
So for the slower minds among TAE like dr d, the Empire of Lies can mine rare earths until the cows come home.
Refining rare earth’s to a high grade is very very difficult. China took DECADES perfecting the process.

The Strait Flush of Hormuz
Yah, it’s a tollbooth alright.
And it allows the toll takers to collapse certain targeted parts of the world economy
The cyber front has a symmetry to it. USrael struck Bank Sepah’s data infrastructure. Iran’s proxies hit a surgical equipment manufacturer used by hospitals globally. An eye for an eye. A server for a server.
An Iran-linked hacker group called Handala claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Stryker Corporation – the American medical technology company whose surgical robots and joint replacements operate in hospitals across 79 countries.
Handala claimed 200,000 systems wiped and 50 terabytes extracted.
WSJ and ABC confirmed the attack.The war just entered the operating room.
It’s a Tollbooth Stupid
The world’s fifth-largest economy, nuclear-armed, with the fourth most powerful military on Earth, called Tehran and requested a waiver. And got one.
The tanker Shenlong arrived in Mumbai loaded with Saudi crude, having sailed straight through Hormuz. Two more Indian tankers – the Pushpak and Parimal – also passed.
Bangladesh secured the same deal.
China already had it.
The strait isn’t closed.
It’s a members-only club.
And the membership criteria is:
not being allied with the people who started the war.
The Energy Secretary said $200 a barrel is “unlikely”.
The IRGC said “not a single litre of oil”.
One of these statements will age better than the other.
Trump, asked about oil prices: “We make a lot of money when oil prices go up”.
Making money while schoolgirls get massacred.
Another great statement from the President of the United States.
So why did western Mediawhores float the mine story?
Because “we can’t escort tankers through a mined strait” sounds considerably better than “we can’t escort tankers because we’d get hit”.
“The world’s most powerful navy has been unable to open a 33-kilometre waterway for two weeks.
That’s embarrassing.Mines provide a technical excuse that avoids the simpler, more damaging explanation:
Iran’s coastal defenses work, and the US Navy doesn’t want to test them.
The mines are cover. ”
For US impotenceTrumpturd’s cardboard cut out speaks.
“The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.
All US bases in the region must be shut down immediately.
Iran demands reparations, or property belonging to the aggressors will be seized or destroyed.
Studies have been conducted on opening additional fronts “where the enemy has minimal experience and would be highly vulnerable”.
And vengeance for Minab will not be forgiven.”
717 sirens in half a day tells you everything about the state of what’s left of Israel’s early warning network.
Iran’s Foreign Minister: “Israel is bombing Iranian historical monuments dating as far back as the 14th century. Multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites have been struck”. His line was surgical: “It’s natural that a regime that won’t last a century hates nations with ancient pasts.”
“Iranian cluster munitions reportedly struck outside Jerusalem’s Old City, near Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.”“The three holiest sites of three religions, give or take, in one blast radius.
Symbolism aside, the targeting accuracy on display is the story.
These aren’t random launches hoping to land somewhere useful.
They’re arriving precisely where someone chose to put them.”
