The attack on Iran's gas infrastructure today is an extreme escalation. It seems both the US and Israel badly underestimated Iran's remaining defence capacity and ability to respond.

@CraigMurrayOrg The strike on Iran’s gas infrastructure appears aimed at escalating the conflict and increasing pressure across the Gulf, potentially drawing regional actors closer to the confrontation.

@CraigMurrayOrg They ran out of targets already while Iran is just starting

@CraigMurrayOrg If you were looking to lay waste to the world, for the purpose of picking up oil, real estate and minderals cheaply afterwards, this would seem like a great way to get the ball rolling.

@CraigMurrayOrg They underestimated Iran. Now the whole region is paying the price.

@CraigMurrayOrg This is Israel’s lesser Samson Option - pull down the global economy around them

@CraigMurrayOrg Iran stated repeatedly that an attack on their energy infrastructure would cross a red line to which they would respond severely. And Israel did it. Supposedly with the agreement of the USA. Iran has responded, as they said they would. The old order is now gone forever.

@CraigMurrayOrg I think Israel knows exactly what it’s doing. Trump, who apparently wants Hormuz open for shipping, does not

@CraigMurrayOrg Qutar owns half this field.

@CraigMurrayOrg Have your mates handed over the enriched uranium yet? Drop them a reminder plz

@CraigMurrayOrg Professor Pape seems to believe we are still just starting 🙄

@CraigMurrayOrg Hitting South Pars wasn't just about Iran 🤔 that field supplies Qatar too, now Iran's threatening Gulf energy sites in retaliation. The Gorillas just turned an economic artery into a battlefield. Every Monkey filling a gas tank globally is about to feel this.

@CraigMurrayOrg Not underestimating. Israel-first nihilism. They want the region burn and the global economy to crash so Israel can rule the ashes (and presumably a very bruised America too)

@CraigMurrayOrg No I think they're goading Iran the whole time. They want to keep provoking them I'm not sure what the goal is, is it to get other countries to gang up against them or is it to create an excuse to drop a nuclear bomb?

@CraigMurrayOrg Trump has the mental wherewithal of a five-year-old. But I think this march up the escalation ladder was very intentional from Israel. Yesterday, Larijani and today this. They are removing all off-ramps.

@CraigMurrayOrg Escalating at this stage is not about underestimating. It's about being willing to blow up the whole world for a sociopathic calculation of a relative advantage.

@CraigMurrayOrg It did not, They have nothing else to hit or do. Its either kill civilians or attack infrastructure no plan anymore. The plan was for 72hrs and they had enough for 12 days. Now they are out of their depth. Last kicks of a dying horse.

@CraigMurrayOrg Trump thought that if he could create a gas crisis, this could make European countries joining the war.

@CraigMurrayOrg The Americans can’t win so they’ll just smash it before they leave in shame.

@CraigMurrayOrg Trump need to put a leash to his Zionist dogs

@CraigMurrayOrg No, they didnt underestimate Iran, Iran fell right into their trap and bombed the GCC because their goal is to make the GCC do their bidding

@CraigMurrayOrg They expected it. They've prepared for years. The leadership structure is impossible to break. Trump has stepped in a dinosaur shite.

@CraigMurrayOrg Do you think economic global chaos is the intended goal ? I do.

@CraigMurrayOrg Bro stop talking shit like you have any fucking clue their capacity in any way. Listening to some old man shake his fist at the cloud because he's bitter about getting thrown in the garbage by the Western government. Dear god it's fucking sad.

@CraigMurrayOrg false show of strength... the US and Israel AIPAC crap is done and dusted

@CraigMurrayOrg Are you actually looking at the people that reply to this shit?

@CraigMurrayOrg This war certainly has succeeded in one thing - bringing out the absolute nutjobs out there who think they understand warfare and will say anything to support "Israel bad". Threads like "Craig Murray" are comedy gold. He really is a silly sausage.

@CraigMurrayOrg Mate, you think Iran's defence capacity is still intact?

@CraigMurrayOrg World Financial disaster looming, time for a glass of laphroaig or 10

@CraigMurrayOrg I do not understand the Gulf Countries. All of them are in the cross hair. Why not negotiate will the people who can be bought with money! Pay the US soldiers to go awol and fly to Argentina or something.

@CraigMurrayOrg Ask Qatar.

@CraigMurrayOrg No it’s all part of the plan.

@CraigMurrayOrg Bigger plan. Make the world more dependent on USA energy.

@CraigMurrayOrg They intention did it

@CraigMurrayOrg 🎯

@CraigMurrayOrg ...again.

@CraigMurrayOrg @IraninJapan It’s unstable war
