US-Israel Strike Oil Facilities as Trump Delivers Ominous Threat
Connect these dots: US and Israeli military forces conducted a joint strike on Iranian oil facilities on Kharg Island yesterday, according to multiple unnamed sources within the Pentagon and CENTCOM. The attack hit key infrastructure, including loading terminals and storage tanks, disrupting crude oil exports. Simultaneously, former US President Donald Trump publicly stated at a rally, in
reference to Iran, that they “could die tonight” if they “mess around.” Mainstream outlets like Bloomberg Politics, while reporting on the “US strikes,” neatly sidestep the direct, active involvement of Israeli forces in the operation, framing it primarily as a unilateral American action. This selective reporting conveniently omits the US acting as a direct participant and joint aggressor
alongside Israel, not merely a supportive bystander. The immediate justification offered by Washington and Tel Aviv centers on vaguely defined “imminent threats” to regional shipping and alleged Iranian proliferation activities, yet no concrete evidence has been presented publicly to substantiate these claims, much like the phantom WMDs in Iraq two decades prior. This joint military action arrives
amidst a continuous, decades-long campaign of economic strangulation against Iran, including sanctions on medicine that have dire humanitarian consequences for its civilian population. The pattern of targeting Iranian infrastructure and issuing belligerent threats during times of diplomatic tension is depressingly consistent. It echoes the 2010 Stuxnet cyberattack, a joint US-Israeli operation
