‘Hormuz has to reopen’: Why the oil industry can’t help Trump tame rising gasoline prices dlvr.it/TRc35X

Although Donald Trump says he has “destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military Capability”, the 0% that apparently remains is playing havoc with the global economy by choking off 10-15% of its oil supply economist.com/united-states/…

Osservo, infine, che le pipelines evocate da Netanyahu corrisponderebbero sulla carta al tratto centrale di infrastrutture immaginate dal progettato corridoio #IMEC (la ‘via del cotone’), molto sostenuto in particolare dall’Italia.

Chi finanzierebbe infrastrutture fisse che - considerato il territorio da attraversare- sarebbero facili bersagli di attacchi/sabotaggi (la guerra Russia-Ucraina docet) e, quindi, con un rischio geopolitico inerente molto elevato?

"Just have oil pipelines, gas pipelines, going west through the Arabian Peninsula, right up to Israel, right up to our Mediterranean ports and you've just done away with the choke points forever," Netanyahu said. "I see that as a real change that will follow this war."

Iranian attacks have knocked out 17 percent of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, causing an estimated $20 billion in lost annual revenue and threatening supplies to Europe and Asia, QatarEnergy’s CEO says.

Former PM of Qatar What Israel wants, unfortunately, is coming to pass… It strikes Iranian oil facilities, and the responses come to strike the countries of the region, leaving us in a scene of regional war or a confrontation between the two sides of the Gulf. To the Iranian leadership, we say it clearly: We have never been your enemies, but what you are doing today is a rejected and unjustified act. These are not targets to be struck to vent anger, and you know full well who the true aggressor is. What you are doing now does not deter the enemy; rather, it serves him, achieves his goals, and widens the rift between you and the peoples of the region. You are pushing the region toward the abyss of a mad war. And I previously warned of the consequences of such acts that serve only Israel alone.

@gideonrachman I fear that with his latest rant threatening #Iran not to strike again at energy infrastructures, he has actually further increased Teheran's incentive to do exactly that.

Unfortunately threatening escalation after you have already killed Iran’s leadership and made it clear that you want regime change is unlikely to persuade Iran to back off. They believe they have less to lose than their adversaries and they are right
